bro.tient |ˈbrō sh ənt|
noun
- A quantitative measure, a ratio calculated with the following formula:
- A qualitative, subjective measure: Michael Bay’s Transformers shattered box office records thanks, in part, to its impossibly high brotient.
Notes on usage: The intended form of measurement may be unclear in some circumstances. For example: the Black Keys concert may have had a roughly equal distribution in gender, but the event’s brotient skyrocketed when the mosh pit started. Conversely, a sausage fest has, by definition, a very high numerical brotient; the atmosphere, however, may or may not be overtly testosterone-heavy. Take care to provide necessary context to avoid confusion.
