We have a new weather girl on our local news. She does weather and traffic. This morning she has a new catch-phrase for the traffic back-up. It was cute…once. Thirty times, not so much.
A co-worker at my previous job hated it when we were discussing deploying software by physically visiting the machine with CDs on our person, which we called “Hand jamming”. At a certain point he cringed and asked/told us not to use that phrase any more, so in order to not offend his sensitivity we used the longer if less evocative phrase “manual install” from then on.
Sorry, I don’t think I can. If I was a heterosexual man, I’d probably be asking you right now how her jelly factor was. 
Okay, that would drive me nuts too. You could always insert a different word yourself whenever she uses it. We have a “jam factor” today could be turned into we have a “jam nostril” or “nostril factor” to use just one example to amuse yourself.
XM Radio’s local traffic used to use that term all the time. I’ll bet that’s where she got it.
Make a drinking game out of it. Every time she says it, take a shot. You’ll forget all about it in no time.
But, um.
I don’t drink much. two shots and I’m ready for a nap. I guess that might work.
“Jam factor! Jam factor! Jam factor! Jam factor!”
“Will someone stop this lady from saying ‘jam factor’?”
CLANG
“Thank you!”
(20 bonus points to the first person who can cite the ref.)
It’s always great when somebody tries a force a failed catchphrase on the public. It’s annoying, but it’s funny if you detach yourself from that annoyance.
You have my sympathies. From the person who lived in the television market of the guy who used the phrase “hunker down.”
Now if we could get folks to stop using the phrase “it really resonated with…”
Ha! I see what you did there.
At least “jam factor” sounds a little serious, unlike “jammo”, which one of our local traffic reporters used constantly, for a while. He would even use it for backups caused by accidents. He doesn’t use it anymore; I don’t know for a fact someone told him off, but I have my suspicions.
That is so fetch!
There used to be a radio announcer (I think back when I was in Boston), who would always say “there’s a disabled blocking I-90” or something like that during the traffic report. It used to drive me nuts. A disabled what?
You have my sympathy.
I don’t know, “Jam Factor!” sounds “Yummo!” to me.
The whole disabled!
At least she’s not saying “a perfect storm”! 
Maybe I’m not the only one who hates it. She only said it once this morning.
