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!"

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.

scale factor 

A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. In the equation y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is also the coefficient of x, and may be called the constant of proportionality of y to x. For example, doubling distances corresponds to a scale factor of two for distance, while cutting a cake in half results in pieces with a scale factor of one half. The basic equation for it is image over primeage. In the field of measurements, the scale factor of an instrument is sometimes referred to as sensitivity. The ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures is also called a scale factor.
