I've always considered things pretty broadly, as I think most people do.

Nano = really teeny scale
Micro = smaller than minifig, but larger than nano
Minifig scale = anything that a minifig can fit into or use normally
Technic = anything a Technic fig can fit into or use normally
Big stuff = anything bigger than Technic

And then there are all the scales I build at :)

Double-width Minifig = 6 to 10 wide vehicles with room for at least
     two minifigs side by side.  My models at this scale are usually
     8 wide, but some people build 6 wide ones.

Miniland Scale = the scale used in Legoland Miniland parks.  This is
     slightly smaller than Technic scale.

ModelTeam Scale = bigger than Miniland scale, but still a tiny bit
     smaller than Tecnic scale.  These models use the 6 stud diameter
     6 hole wheels.  This varies, however, since <set: 5571> and a
     few others are not built at this scale.

Or any other convenient scale, as long as the proportions are close :)
