“Scalies” is a term that was immortalized a year ago in a New York Times piece about the little fake people who reside in architectural renderings purely to offer a sense of scale to the buildings, roads, and parks—”They may not seem to have much on their minds, those orderly little scalies, but it turns out they have a lot to say.”
