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.

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!

deal factor

Generally used in the negative to refer to someone who lacks deal factor. It is the quality where people can deal with changes in plan, changes in circumstances, without going above threshold or overreacting.

John? He’s got like no deal factor. We changed the time for brunch by 15 minutes and he freaked out.
