The Zero Factor

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.

fnap factor

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 oxys are starting to where off. Let's smoke a bowl to raise the fnap factor a bit.
