Sodometry (noun) [Pronunciation]: /ˈsɒdəˌmɛtri/ Definition: The scientific measurement of the level of pain and discomfort experienced when a person is put into an awkward, embarrassing, or otherwise [uncomfortable] social or physical situation. Explanation: Sodometry, derived from the words "sodomy" and "metrics," is the science of measuring emotional and physical distress in different scenarios. It seeks to quantify the experience of feeling emotionally and physically "sore". The unit of measurement in sodometry is the Sodometric Index (SI), a scale ranging from 0 to 10, where: 0 SI: Zen-like tranquility; no discomfort at all. 1-2 SI: Mild discomfort; the kind where you laugh it off later. 3-4 SI: Moderate unease; the awkward dinner at the in-laws level. 5-6 SI: Significant discomfort; akin to making small talk at a party with people you don’t know. 7-8 SI: High emotional pain; like [accidentally] hitting "reply all" on an embarrassing email. 9-10 SI: Extreme distress; comparable to being the subject of a viral meme for something embarrassing. Application: Sodometry can be applied to better gauge and articulate our emotional and/ or physical reactions. The Sodometric Index can help you measure and communicate just how [uncomfortable] the situation made you feel. So, next time you're caught in an [uncomfortable] situation, remember to take a deep breath, channel your inner scientist, and calculate your Sodometric Index. It might just help you laugh about it later!
