Yardstick Quirks:
The word 'yardstick' can be used as a term of metaphorical measurement as well as physical measurement. So, the yardsticks might be used in conversation even about sizing up potential companions. " I went out with Tom, this new guy, the other night and I liked him but our conversation was slow and I didn't really feel a spark, but it is hard to say how much of the disappointment is from a lack of connection between us, or from the fact that Anthony is still my yardstick". In this case Anthony is an old love that this woman is still comparing her new prospects to, but anyone, in any circumstance can be a 'yardstick' when compared to anyone or anything else.
