human factors engineering

i) the process and effects of intentionally playing on a persons attributes to achieve a goal, either directly or indirectly.
I didnt want Amy going out with Mark, but i knew she was planning to go out with him on friday, so i relied on Jenny's gossip mouth by telling her best friend Cathy that Mark had VD. She told everyone else and Amy went out with me instead. Ingenious human factors engineering

Pucker Factor Zulu

The highest rating achievable for sphincter puckering during a high stress situation. The puckering may be so tight as to cause sphincter fluttering. Anything above Zulu is the complete loss of sphincter control. A Pucker Factor Zulu (PFZ) situation is commonly found in Near Death Experiences (NDE), although a NDE is not required. Items nearby, such as under garments, pants, seats, sofa cusions, etc., are often damaged during a full blown PFZ event, as the sphincter clamps down like a pitbull on a tire swing.
Dude! That near head on collision reached Pucker Factor Zulu. It was 5 minutes before my butt let go of the seat!

skeeve factor

when the person you are dating and sleeping with has become so distasteful to you, that you can't stand the thought of being with them sexually.
I had gotten to the point of skeeve factor with my ex-boyfriend John, and couldn't stand the thought of him touching me or the idea of ever sleeping with him again.

Harmful Moist Factor

A rare disease that affects only 0.02% of the world's population. It occurs when the brain overproduces a moist acidic liquid which damages brain cells and can lead to polio. It can be contracted through sexual intercourse or high levels of stress. In few cases, it has caused extreme speech impediments. A cure is currently being developed by Jesse Barronton, who contracted the disease when he was six.
The harmful moist factor in his brain cost him his life by the age of 26.

Purnell Factor

Embellishing or exaggerating a story to the point of disbelief.
Well that story has definitely had the Purnell factor added to it.

Damping Factor

Damping factor
The ability of an amplifier to control the movement of a subwoofer — the higher the damping factor, the greater the accuracy. Damping factor is calculated by dividing the subwoofer impedance by the output impedance of the amplifier. An amplifier's damping factor will decrease as the sub's impedance decreases — that's why an amp running at 4 ohms will provide tighter bass than at 2 ohms. This spec is not always given for all amplifiers.
