Something guys and girls do to give their opinion on another's attractiveness. It's supposed to go from 1-10, but there are many variations:
1-100
1-8 (generally this scale is only used alongside the word "mate" with a full rating of 8/8
*Name*-*name* (this is either used in a good sense or bad sense. The rate given must be a name)
The scales are often broken to emphasise extreme attractiveness or extreme fugliness.
Note: Oftentimes the word "rate" is not used, even though that's what's happening. Frequently replacing "rate" is "give"
Ex. 1:
Mike: Dude, did you see that chick last night? I rate her 11/10 at the very least.
Ike: Umm...yeah. I hate to break it to you, but you had been hitting the heavy stuff for long enough that you were grinding on a 3...
Ex. 2:
Mike: On a scale from Kim Kardashian to Olivia Wilde, I give her a Megan Fox
Ex. 3:
Mike: Bruh, I know you were checking out my sister earlier. Be honest and tell me what you think of her.
Ike: I know how weird it must be to hear this, but she's 8/8 mate.
