This is the opposite of a wind-chill factor. When it has been cold for a long time, and then there is a mild winter day, it feels a lot warmer than it is.
Today is February 10. In Cleveland, it is 50 degrees, but with the it-has-been-cold-as-a-mutha factor it feels like 75.

A term that one uses to describe, and to discreetly convey in public, their urgency and need to visit a toilet to take a crap. Number nine is always used as the guage to describe the tightness of the sphincter, which conveys that the person is right on the edge of crapping their pants.

The mathematical equation/proof that girls are exponentially hotter, the farther away they are from you.
Wowwwwwwwwww, look at that shorty up there, she be lookin' good!
Naww, man, dats just the Distance Distortion Factor (DDF).

when the person you are dating and sleeping with has become so distasteful to you, that you can't stand the thought of being with them sexually.
I had gotten to the point of skeeve factor with my ex-boyfriend John, and couldn't stand the thought of him touching me or the idea of ever sleeping with him again.

Tom: I'm not sure if I'm going to Derek's party tonight.
Dave: Tracey will be there. I heard through the grape vine that she gets down with one dude and another girl on the first Saturday of every month. Guess what tonight is!
Tom: Well there's my swing factor.

Damping factor
The ability of an amplifier to control the movement of a subwoofer — the higher the damping factor, the greater the accuracy. Damping factor is calculated by dividing the subwoofer impedance by the output impedance of the amplifier. An amplifier's damping factor will decrease as the sub's impedance decreases — that's why an amp running at 4 ohms will provide tighter bass than at 2 ohms. This spec is not always given for all amplifiers.
