a scale of one to OMG we're all gonna die
A stupid rating system for when something small feels like the apocalypse. Used by people who think a paper cut is the same as a nuclear bomb, especially in places where mistakes mean everyone dies.
'I dropped a pen. It's a 7 on the scale of one to we're all gonna die.'
'The lights flickered. It's a 5 on the scale of one to we're all gonna die.'
'He forgot to plug in the server. It's an 11 on the scale of one to we're all gonna die.'
