ransom factor

The tendency for one party in a civil case to settle out of court to avoid the potentially high cost of fighting the case.

Newspaper publishers, when faced with a potential libel case, often try to settle out of court by paying a ransom factor rather than take their chances with a jury trial.

Randonesia

When randonneurs suffer on a long distance cycling event, their subsequent inability to recall the nature of that suffering and consequently their willingness to sign up for another one (despite it being almost certain they will suffer similarly again ) ...is called randonesia ( ie, randonneuring and amnesia )

Chap No1. " What? That 1200 km brevet through the alps with 3 days of wind and rain, 2 hours sleep and multiple mechanical failures wasn't that bad at all. I'd like to sign up for the next one please "

Chap No2. " Mate, thats a classic case of randonesia...but go ahead anyway. Chapeau sir. "

insurance ransom

The exorbitant fee associated with temporarily insuring a motor vehicle, which costs a whole lot more per day than buying a month's worth or year's worth of insurance.

Ted couldn't afford the insurance ransom for his motorcycle, so he spent the day drinking beer in his underwear instead.
