What does it mean to be "very scalene"?

Of all triangles, which one is the most scalene (whatever that means)?

One possible definition of "most scalene": The triangle which is worst at covering its own mirror image. Let A(T) be the maximum possible area of intersection of a triangle T of area 1 and its mirror image T' (also of area 1) in the Euclidean plane. For which T is A(T) minimised?
