You thought MeanTime was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet. This meter goes from 1 to 10, although anything beyond 7 has a layer of dust on it (it's hard to get higher unless you're saying something about someone to their face). It also has a little bell at the top, much like one of those old 'test your strength' games.
The Mean-O-Meter has been a staple presence in ["RussellMUCK"] for several years. Although now infrequently used, it serves as a reminder that the speaker is venturing into the realm of being a mean f.... um, of being mean.
It is also occasionally used by the speaker, after the comment is made, to serve as emphasis.
Technically, it is a global action on the [wiki:MUD MUCK], used with the prefix mean, and otherwise treated as a pose action. A common use is mean dings!; which returns The Mean-O-Meter dings!
Historically, mention of (or even mild allusion to) [wiki:Elephant Bet] or ["Becca"] activates the Mean-O-Meter shortly afterwards.
The Mean-O-Meter dings! 9.5!
