squint scale
Squint-scale is that movement you make with your hands when you're trying to weigh two (probably equally poor) options.
Usually the person using this metaphoric motion simultaneously makes a terrible squinty face that resembles straining and intense thought.
This back and forth hand gesture closely resembles that of an old fashioned scale mechanism; one which tips in the direction of the heaviest object presented on it's metal plates.
Squint-scale is often used when you're presented with a dilema where there is a clear and obvious right answer, but that other answer that your mother would smack you for choosing is sounding pretty good.

"I should probably spend my day off working on some of these projects, chores, and life responsibilities that haunt me everyday... But... The bar is having 2 for 1 happy hour and I wouldn't want that to go to waste" (enter squint scale)
