Sociotechonomic factors

Adj. A combination of specific social, technological, and economic environmental conditions to be specifically cited as an explanation for a certain phenomena.
The sociotechonomic factors of the 21st century, such as the increased use of the internet and social media, America's increased distaste for the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the sudden faltering of the economy at the end of the Bush era are all important conditions that played a role in Barack Obama's vitory in the 2008 Presidential election.

Gyte’s Factor

Often taking obscene lengths of time for the most un-noteworthy of bowel movements, thus delaying countless trips, activities and functions.
George: How long has Danny been away shitting? Surely he can’t take this long.

Josh: I know it should only be 10-15 minutes.

Jack: Have you applied Gyte’s Factor? That would take it to at least 30 minutes.

Frits Factor

The impossibility of teaching someone something because of his or her dogged reluctance to avoid being taught. It arises through the

deliberate choice of that person to continue to remain ignorant. In some cases the person may be too proud to admit that a different, better method exists of doing something.
Example 1.

Lemuel was repeatedly having the same, easily-fixable problem with his computer and Mike was always the one to help him sort it out. When I suggested that Mike show Lemuel how to do it himself he said "Oh I offered to do that but it's the Frits Factor. He insists I do it for him, every time."

Example 2.

I went fishing with Jock. He kept losing his strikes because his method of attaching the hook was flawed and ineffectual. I offered to

help and patiently showed him how to tie a good knot but strangely, his results did not improve. The Frits Factor was at play. I noticed later he
was still baiting up his way.
