iHype factor

A unit of measure used by Apple to assist in determining the relase date & price of their products. It describes the almost fanatical reverence that Apple followers have towards their iProducts - to the point that even if said product is faulty or over-priced, they'll still love it, cherish it, tell all their friends about it, and walk around holding it in a clearly visible fashion in order to obtain that instant iFan street-cred.

Apple Developer 1: Dude, you get that BlueTooth functionality working yet for this weeks iPhone milestone? We're only weeks away from release date...

Apple Developer 2: Nah man, shit's more messed up than AppleTV. No chance I'll fix it in time.

Apple Developer 1: Right ... well ... spose it doesn't matter anyway - iHype factor alone will mean we sell millions of these babies.

The Pantomime Factor

The Pantomime Factor is a device used by writers of film and TV dramas that has the audience shouting at the screen, when what the hero or heroine is about to do, defies imagination and logic.

An example of The Pantomime Factor.

The heroine on a dark night walks alone into her unlit house which clearly has had a forced entry and fails to see a figure lurking in the dark as they stumble about, never even thinking about turning on a light.
More impressionable observers will be shouting; "Look out behind you!" and similar warnings at the screen, but of course to no avail.

Writer Factor

The difference of effect between a writer who has written a peice of literature and a person reading it. The writer may believe their creation is much longer, more emotional, or interesting while none of these things have transferred into the acuall writing. Writers who forget to apply "writer factor" to their work usually end up making action too blunt, descriptions too short or include things that just dont make sense.

Writer factor, time wise, is aproximetly half an hour of writing to twenty seconds of reading, 45 minutes research to one interesting fact, and two days depression to a single tear.

Writers factor includes any type of writing, including scripts, poetry and even band names.

"James hit lucy. She flew back into a bush. Later her rescuer named Larry found her and they got married."

writer: Im thinking of showing this to a publisher, what do you think? Isn't it romantic?
reader: No. Its three sentences long.
writer: It seemed longer in my head. Mabe they can make a movie about it.
reader: you're forgetting writer factor, moron.

Band: we call ourselves pedobread: it has a deeply spiritual meaning to us
Fans: Pedo-Bread? WTF?

Snape Factor

n. A quality a man (or less commonly woman) is said to have when they are found attractive, but for no obvious or discernible reason. They may not be physically attractive, smart or possess any typical desirable qualities, but are nonetheless alluring. Possession of the Snape Factor is often subjective, and it is rare for two people to agree about it.

The phrase originates from the character Severus Snape, of the ubiquitous Harry Potter series, who is dark, snide and almost ghoulish in appearace, but is considered attractive by many nonetheless. He has the Snape Factor.

Girl A: I don't know why, but he's kind of cute, somehow...

Girl B: Are you crazy? He just chased a squirrel down the street with holy water!

Girl A: Yeah, but-- I don't know, he just has the Snape Factor.
