splash factor

The name of the scale that rates the chances of being struck by your own piss when using a particular urinal. Especially true for oddly shaped/positioned urinals.

"Dude, the urinals here are 4 feet off the ground damn ground, I had to back a bit and on my toes to avoid the splash factor."

"Damn it, now I need to wash my pants, that fucking toilet has to be splash factor 9!"

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.

Balloon Factor

When a company expands quicker than the directors or shareholders can keep up with employees, eventually it explodes like a balloon.

Chris and Pete promised consumer's their investments would be delivered in a set time frame. When that failed, Chris and Pete promised new and better products which sucked further outside investors in. Eventually unable to deliver any products, the company folded....that is the "balloon factor"

Gyte’s Factor

A multiplication factor used to calculate how long someone with a ‘delicate posterior’ takes to have a shit. (Approximately 3.5-4.0)

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.
