A term used by guys to describe how likely their brilliant home improvement projects, social plans or geek toys will be accepted by their wives.
Note that the purist never assigns a Wife Acceptance Factor a number score, like 8.7, or a even a relative amount like "low" or "high". This is what keeps it from being the precise measurement implied by the name, and adds to the irony.
Neither does the purist ever use the abbreviation WAF, it is always sardonically drawled out in full: "Wife Acceptance Factor".
It is also never used by hen-pecked husbands, since they have no say in anything anyway.

Yeah, that SONY 60" 3D HDTV I wanted just didn't have the whole Wife Acceptance Factor thing going on.
Dude! That's at least reasonable. My wife put the kibosh on my awesome home automation plan, which anyone would agree should fly right under the Wife Acceptance Factor radar.

A male homosexual, one that craves to be on the receptive side of anal intercourse. May also apply to a heterosexual that likes to be penetrated by a strap on.
This phrase seems to originate from Hebrew where it appears as "eats in port 80", a euphemism of "eats in the ass" (80 being the common port number for HTTP requests).
Another (rarer) variant is "accepts in port 8080" (being the HTTP Alternate port as well as the port used by the infamous vulnerability in the Netscape implementation of JVM known as Brown Orifice).
Compare port (definition 4)

So what are you telling me here, that you accept in port 80?
Dude, just because someone likes to wear dresses you can't automatically assume he accepts in port 80.

the coldest, most impersonable way to get denied from the college of your dreams. ironically, a few days after you see that those fuckers denied you virtually, you get a letter that denies you all over again.
Boy:Hey, I heard you applied to Dartmouth!
Girl: Yeah I looked up a copy of my online acceptance letter, and I found out they fucking rejected me.

a social acceptance morph (SAM) is a person with a servile need to be liked. This person has a fluid personality that changes depending on the social situation or whom they are with. Social acceptance morphs are the people usually described as "nice" or "sweet," and they are often the most popular people in any given situation. Upon meeting a SAM, you will feel as if you have met your new best friend--someone who shares all your same interests and laughs at all your jokes. For this reason, a SAM has many infatuated admirers and people who think they are really good friends. Unfortunately, these interactions are not authentic. In most cases, a SAM has very few real friends. It is the tragic circumstance of a SAM that s/he, because of the constant need to please and morph to suit those around, has no real idea who s/he is.
Actually, Bob really has no interest in rock climbing, he's just a SAM.
Honestly, the only reason Olivia laughed at your joke and said studying sociology was fascinating is because she is a social acceptance morph.
