logarithmic G scale

The logarithmic G scale is used to measure the overall influence, and the ability to influence, of an individual in society. The influence is measured as an absolute value of influence, that is, it doesn't differentiate between positive or negative influence.

The 1G base is used to describe any accomplished individual such as a doctor, lawyer, police captain, army major, university professor, capo.

Steve jobs is a 3.7 G in the logarithmic G scale.
George W Bush is a 4.0 G.
Bill Clinton 3.3 G. (+ .3 for Monica Lewinsky incident)
Larry Page 2.7 G
David Suzuki 1.8 G
Al Gore 1.9 G
Rupert Murdoch 5.0 G

lolgorithm

In the field of computer science - or more specifically that of computer graphics - a lolgorithm is a variation of an algorithm with a generally non-intentional, comical outcome. In some cases a lolgorithm can be developed with the intent of producing amusing results, but it is generally the product of programmer error. The term can also be applied to "hacks": code that was written to to approximate a solution to a problem instead of fixing it.

Lolarithmic

A scale for comparing different levels of humour.

"Bromo, Jonny just had a full on blammo! On a lolarithmic scale, I'd give it an 8.7."

"I think I just natural lol'd"

logarithic

A word to use when you're excited and have nothing else to say.

Logarithmic Instinct

When our primitive instinct makes us treat the comparison of large numbers as logarithmic rather than linear—for instance, we feel like the gap between a trillion and a billion is the same as that between a billion and a million, because both are a thousand times bigger, when the jump to a trillion is really much bigger.

When young children are asked which number is halfway between one and nine, their answers are three instead of five, as given by those with formal schooling. Is this a case of logarithmic instinct, where the middle is in relation to multiplication rather than addition: 1 × 3 = 3, 3 × 3 = 9?

lagorithm

The study of lag (bad latency).

We must go through the lagorithm to see why the bad latency was caused.

Logarithmic Differentiation

Easy but ugly. Much like some girls I know.

It's an important part of Calculus 1, used for taking the derivative of functions with "x" in the exponent.

Man, that girl from Calc class is like using logarithmic differentiation
