The Manley Threshold

When developing a piece of software, the point at which you would harm yourself should the code be lost for whatever reason.

Can be recognized by the developer themself or by an observer of the developer.
You’re past the Manley Threshold. Is the code backed up? You’d better make sure your code is backed up.

Ashlee Simpson Threshold

I cannot listen to Green Day, Coldplay, or the Killers anymore. They have all breached my Ashlee Simpson Threshold.

Threefiddy

A total value of 3 Dollars and 50 Cents.
Often requested by the Loch Ness monster.
1. " What else do you need? I already have both my hand in your pussy!"
*She looked me in the eyes*
2. " I need about threefiddy."
And it was about that time I realized I had both of my hands in the vagina of a 8 storie tall

Crustacean from the paleozoic era. That god damned Loch Ness monster had tricked me again.

adobe threshold

In software engineering, the point of inelegance when a codebase will collapse in on itself like a mud house. It is conceptually similar to the Chandrasekhar Limit, the mass above which a star can collapse into a black hole.

A codebase that has surpassed the adobe threshold cannot be completely understood at one time, because its complexity is too much for someone to keep in their head. This can lead to additional problems ranging from duplicated code to whole systems that do nothing but fight each other.

Collapsed codebases are not maintainable, which means they cannot have bugs fixed or functionality added. Engineers may contain collapse by applying emergency encapsulation measures, walling off entire features like junk-filled rooms in a vast house.
If you bring in any more mercenary programmers, our codebase is going to pass the adobe threshold and collapse.

Threshold

The threshold refers to a certain point in the ratings system. In order to understand the threshold, a definition of the rating system must be given. The rating is a system used to rate either men or women and it is a score out of 10. 5 points are for the personality/character and the other 5 are designated exclusively for looks. When you see a person and which to rate them purely on looks, a premature rating out of 5 is given.

Now the threshold refers to the point in which the other person you have rated is rated so highly to you that you would wish to sleep with them. The threshold is between 7.5 and 10.0. It must be noted that there is no threshold on a premature rating because before sleeping with someone, it is imperative that you must have some form of verbal contact with them unless of course you are a rapist. This system operates on the presumption that if one finds another attractive, they'd want to sleep with them.

Note: A high score is typically anything above an 8. Just like the NFL draft ratings system.
1. "Damn that chicks nice. I'd give her a premature rating of 4.8."

2. - "That guy's such a nice piece of ass, I think I'd give him a 8.5."

- "Oh, so you'd sleep with him? Because you did rate him above the threshold."

- "Without a doubt."

Indian Threshold

The threshold of annoyance you have to inflict on your friend before he / she insinuates that you are an Indian.

This usually works on people of Pakistani origin due to the historical hostility between the two nations. Probably works the other way around as well.
Jess: Hey help me pick out an invitation card for my fiance'.
Farhan: Hahh .. another birthday? How old is he? Around 40 now?
Jess: Eeewww he's not! That would make him 17 years older than me!
Jess: Stop being an indian.
Farhan: Ooooohh .. INDIAN THRESHOLD CROSSED!!
