noise-to-signal ratio

The proportion of irrelevant, off-topic, inflammatory, nonsensical, spammy, screaming, content-free, trolling, or otherwise useless statements to actual useful, worthwhile communication.

From the informal sense of signal to noise ratio, but inverted to emphasize the "noise".

"That discussion board used to be a great place to talk about politics, but now the noise-to-signal ratio is through the roof!"

"Typically, a demagogue actually benefits from nonsensical, contradictory and inflammatory statements and agendas. Ironically, the higher the noise-to-signal ratio, the more effective they become since any useful information would actually rein them in."
(adapted from Raul and JonG)

Bird to Sign Time

This phrase is used by inbreds or hicks to replace the phrase "quarter mile time" when racing. Usually used by the inbreds when racing a POS truck against another POS truck. Imagine street racing without the city and out by a old barn and corn field.

"Hey Cletus, what your bird to sign time on that big ol' truck you have been haulin' that hay with?" "It's about 7.8 seconds I reckon." "Well shit, I suppose you would beat in my John Dear green tractor." "Damn straight, I'm packin' a 350 hemi supercharger in this bitch." "Your shittin me?"
