The "quotient" is what remains after a division, either of numbers, or of parents. Parent'sdon't divorce their children, the children remain related to the parents. They remain after divorce, or they are the "quotient" of divorce, the division of two people so that they are no longer "married" or "joined together." So now instead of saying "my parents are divorced" you simply say you're a "quotient." ...just like orphans don't tell you "my parents are dead" -- they say "I'm an orphan." -- or how someone tells you they're a "widow" instead of saying "my spouse is dead."
"I'm glad I'm a quotient because my parents don't fight anymore and I get 2 birthdays."
The degree of measure to which someone came through in a moment of need, crisis, or difficulty. Can also be used in a sports context to acknowledge a moment where a player put on a game-winning performance when the team really needed him or her.
Brandi Chastain hitting that penalty shot against China was like a clutch quotient of 10.
Uh-oh, Rex Grossman just threw another interception. His clutch quotient is definitely in single digits.
A process of deciding whether you care or have an opinion about any thing, policy, concept, idea, etc, by stripping it down to its most basic parts. If you are motivated enough to have a position/opinion on any of its parts, then it can be said you give a rat's ass about the topic.
Basically a way of determining whether you give a rat's ass about a specific issue, topic, etc.
Normally, I could give a rat's ass about the New York Yankees. However, since they drafted former Nebraska Cornhusker Joba Chamberlain; I have an interest in them; and how the Yankees are doing passes my rat's ass quotient.
