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.

When a simple typo changes transforms your accomplishments into something completely different.

Excellent work, congratulations on creating that presentation - it definitely has the woe factor!!

BoJo factor

In politics, where to be caught in a lie is not necessarily harmful to one’s career. Generally requires prejudice, frustration and credulousness on the part of the population, a shallow talent pool and a helpful media.

Like Goneril and Regan competing to offer false compliments to Lear, they used the BoJo factor to cover the leader they had doomed with hypocritical praise
The BoJo factor was clearly at work when he was given the post of Foreign Secretary, much to the amazement of the rest of the world

The ability of an individual to rotate a female on an erect penis during coitus, scaled from 0 to 10.

0 = unspinnable, no rotational inertia
10 = freely spinnable, potentially reaching perpetual rotation

"bro she is fit, her spin factor is off scale!!"

Buzz Factor

When your retarded friend takes an incredibly long period of time to get something.

Bob: "You need to sit on that."
Billy: "That's what she said."
Bob: "I don't get it."
10 seconds later
Bob: "Oh, I get it"
In this example, Bob's Buzz Factor is 10 seconds.
