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.
