Wife Acceptance Factor

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.

accuntable

When someone's being a bitch about responsibilities, either showing a failure to take care of them or passing them on to someone else.

Sandra hasn't done shit around the house in days and when I asked her to fluff the drapes she told me to put down my macramé and do it myself. That bitch needs to be held accuntable.

Courtesy Accept

On Facebook, when you receive a request from someone who you see has several mutual friends, but you know that you have never met them and don't really want to accept their friend request, but you do anyway to avoid looking like an asshole/bitch, this is considered a courtesy accept.

I had to courtesy accept her friend request so I wouldn't look like a dick. She's friends with Tina, so I don't want her to tell Tina I'm a dick, I can't be havin that shizz yo.

accentism

Similar to racism or sexism, it is discriminating based on someone having an accent, usually a particular accent.

I realized I had a problem with accentism when I immediately assumed the person was unintelligent upon hearing their southern drawl.
