The Briggsy Factor

An art talent contest devised by world-famous arty dwarf, Briggsy. Pretentious arty types compete to win the much-coveted prize of a Briggsy Art Apprenticeship. Every week the artist found to be least impressive is eliminated. As the field dwindles down the creations of the wannabes become ever more ludicrous as they battle to outconceptualize each other in their desperate quest to be Briggsy's protege.

Since winning The Briggsy Factor I've lost count of the number of times I've been bummed by the spotty twat.

pucker factor

A term used to describe the tightness of your sphincter following a close call. Some as yet unidentified factors are high enough to cause discomfort as you must take an appreciable amount of time to remove from your butt that what you were sitting on.

Almost laying down my bike around that corner had a pucker factor of 7.

fuck it factor

Expressed as a decimal, it is a metric of the likelihood that you will finally say, "fuck it" and give up or quit. Most often used in work situations. 0.1 is considered mild frustration, 0.5 annoyance, 0.8+ violent rage/physical pain. 1.0 is the instant you quit, 2.0 is going postal.

During the company meeting when they said we were all getting pay cuts I was at .98 fuck it factor, but now that I'm at the bar I've mellowed to a .86.

Turtles Factor

A condition affecting something from your youth (such as the live action Ninja Turtles movie) that you remember as being really cool, but upon revisitation, proves not to be very cool at all.

1. Is Crocodile Dundee actually a really good movie, or does it just have a high Turtles Factor?

2. I totally thought that Saved by the Bell was the greatest show ever, but then I wasted $80 on the DVD box set and it turned out to have a harsh Turtles Factor.
