The Spearmint Factor

The effect of initially distributing one piece of chewing gum to a single person thus attracting all others that are near whom will nag and gripe at you until you finally distribute your entire pack of gum to all the desperate gum beggars. This effect is unavoidable once a second person finds out about your charity piece of gum.

"Jim asked for a piece of gum, but I hesitated to think about the consequences. I gave him a piece completely forgetting the spearmint factor, and the next thing I knew, all my gum was gone!"

direct sunlight factor

As with it's twin, wind chill factor, direct sunlight factor-- or DSF -- changes the temperature of an object when affected by it, in this case raising the temperature -- rather than lowering it -- in relation to the temperature of the air, due to the warming rays of direct, unimpeded sunshine on said object.

Despite the frigid temperatures at the airport this morning, Josh was able to get all the ice off his plane quickly by pulling it out of the hangar and into the sunshine where the direct sunlight factor raised the plane's surface temperature rapidly to melt it.

Slack Factor

The ratio of the number of employees in a firm, to the number of Slack channels used by the firm. The higher the Slack Factor, the higher the number of Slack channels per employee, and the lower the possibility of finding that one message you know you just read a minute ago that you needed to respond to.

I just saw a question from Larry, but our Slack Factor is so high, I don't even remember what channel it was in any more. I guess he's not getting an answer.
