"I'll be over in a half hour, I just need to make breakfast"

You can't find your wallet, you remember you left it at your other friends place lastnight.
You get in your car and realize your low on gas so you need to make a stop at the gas station.
You drive to your friends place and pick up your wallet. But they're the type of friend that you kinda have to stick around and chat with for a bit or they get salty.
You drive to the gas station and while paying at the pump, you receive an NSF message. You transfer enough money for your gas and required groceries then fill up your tank.
You arrive at the grocery store and spot your supervisor. Trying desperately to avoid her, she spots you. You're obligated to make small talk.
You head home and put your groceries away and realize you forgot to start the dishwasher.
You pull out a few dishes, start the dishwasher and turn to your sink to start the dishes. You realize you are out of dish soap.
You go back to the grocery store.
You do the dishes by hand.
You cook your breakfast, brew some coffee and sit down to finally relax and eat.
You now have to poop. So you do.
It's been 4 hours trying to accomplish the single task you originally set out to do. Your friend calls and asks what's up? You explain that you had a factorio morning and thought you could complete what you needed to in a half hour but that's not how factorio works.

Factorback is the annoying ESPN analyst Merril Hoge's definition of a running back or tailback. He preaches in his loud annoying voice about a "SEAL HERE" AND A "SEAL HERE", and how the factorback is very dynamic. He usually sounds more clueless than Rasheed Wallace at a spelling bee.
Merril Hoge: Adrian Peterson is a FACTOR BACK! I studied him on film for 22.5 hours and he is just absolutely dynamic. Look at this play, POWER FORMATION, RUNNING THE FOOTBALL, he gets a SEAL here, and a SEAL here, and breaks off a nice run. Adrian Peterson is a factorback.

Get the Factorback mug.A crowded place so chock full of morons doing stupid things that they must be manufacturing them in a back room; thus, a factory. An organization housing so many idiots, it almost seems intentional.

Get the Clown Factory mug.The Clown factor is the fear of doing something brave, because you are afraid to fail and be clowned by your friends and family. This factor must be considered before attempting something crazy, because the benefits from succeeding may not outweigh the clown factor of failure.

Get the Clown Factor mug.Buggerance Factor: This is derived from the English slang buggerance meaning an annoyance, an untimely interruption or something else that interferes with the smooth progress of work. Its use became particularly prevalent in project management where it became necessary to allow additional time for these unforseen and unforseeable events. Where it was not possible to allow this time against a particular element of the project, a non-specific increase in time was allowed to cover these eventualities which became known as the Buggerance Factor.
The Buggerance Factor is there to cover the extra time needed to rectify those things, which never ever go wrong, but invariably do if you fail to allow for them. It is usually added because of a sixth sense on the part of the project manager that something unexpected is going to happen and is the factor that allows for the law of project management that states Parkinson, Murphy and Sod are alive and well and working on your project.
