*noun*; term coined by Adam Smith (1723-1790) to refer to things used to produce other things. Usually people refer to four factors of production:
1.labor (not the same thing as workers); a worker can work more or less hours per week, and can exchange her labor for payment
2. capital; includes tools, machinery, plants and fixtures, seed corn, etc. Adam Smith distinguished between inventories, which he called circulating capital, and tools, which he called fixed capital;
3. land; understood as a specific area on the earth's surface, but sometimes incorporates the natural productivity or mineral resources as well;
4. entrepreneurship; sometimes lumped with capital. Includes the combination of skills required to start a business.
Different economic systems vary in their view of who should own the factors of production. In capitalism, this would be private individuals; in communism, it would be a collective. In the Marxist transition to communism, it would be the state.

An international version of the Scandinavian "Fultal", literally: "Ugly Number". Simply the amount of partners a person has slept with, multiplied by the difference in age between the youngest and oldest.
Ex. 15 partners, youngest born 1985, oldest 1975, filth factor of 150.

The phenomena that renders a television or movie program unwatchable for more than a few moments before the desire to change the channel or leave the theatre becomes irresistable due to the high levels of stupidity contained therein.
Titled for the Three Stooges, stooge factor can change over time, illustrating how some of our most beloved television programs and movies can become completely unwatchable years later.
Something so utterly stupid that it defies belief.
The desire to escape the program may actually be accompanied by a subtle fear that continuing to watch it may actually make one less intelligent.
(Parody phrase of Fear Factor)
Note that it is possible for modern television and movie programs to have such horrible writing, acting, etc. that it can be said to contain a high stooge factor.
A Three's Company episode being funny back in the 1980s being out of place in the new millennium. Or watching Jerry Lewis try to do his old stand-up routine at a modern comedy festival.
Basically, makes you want to get the hook.
"I can't watch this crap. Too high a stooge factor!"
A scientific phenomenon, often resulting in irrational action or downright stupidity.
John failed the science quiz because he was heavily influenced by the ZQ Factor.
The single factor not taken into account in any situation, which usually leads to catastrophe.
The fact that Joe didn't clean the beaker properly was the absent factor in the experiment that lead to the explosion in the lab.
