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.

Derived from fnappy. The level of euphoria you are experiencing, while on a feel-good substance. This incredible feeling is commonly brought on by a scheduled substance, more specifically a narcotic. Your level of 'feel good' is measured using the fnap factor, the 'fnappier' you are, the higher the 'fnap factor.'

The loss of real estate value caused by a bad, sloppy or lazy neighbor, as compared to comparable homes in the neighborhood that don't abut the bad neighbor. The difference in resale value between a home with good neighbors and a similar one with a bad neighbor.
My nasty neighbors next door kept bothering prospective buyers during showings, so I ended up selling for 20% less than the appraised value. The toth factor cost me thousands!

Competitive party game. Each player takes it in turn to play the cheesiest/biggest tracks from their iPod/phone. Winner is the person with largest portion of booty shaken and/or most raucous screeching. Best played intoxicated.

When society judges people whether they are successful or not by the number of zeros they have accumulated in their bank accounts—when hundredaires and thousandaires are normally overlooked and looked down while millionaires and billionaires are noticed and respected (or even worshipped).
What differentiates the rich and the famous from the poor and the notorious on this side of heaven is not just the fear factor but also the zero factor.
