The Ellen Threshold

The point of ugliness in a male below which a 100% straight female would rather go against her sexual orientation and sleep with Ellen DeGegeneres than with him. The female equivalent is the Neil Threshold, for girls so ugly that a straight male would rather sleep with Neil Patrick Harris.
Alan is covered with zits, smells like a used pizza box, and has a hunchback-- I'd definitely rather do Ellen DeGeneres; he's below the Ellen Threshold.

Iris Threshold

the amount of times you are able to listen to the song "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls, without beginning to cry.
Try as he may, Jon could feel a lump in his throat as the song came to a close. His Iris Threshold was one.

The Practicality Threshold

Some things are just too practical to work. The practicality threshold is defined as the line beyond which things become too practical for use.
"Hey, why are we taking a hot air balloon to the moon instead of a rocket?"

"Because the rocket is past the practicality threshold!"

bullshit threshold

The amount of bullshit someone will put up with or tolerate before saying fuck it and walking away.
This guy Marc was whiney and kept losing his temper, so I said fuck it I'm out.

That's because you have a low bullshit threshold.

apathetic threshold

The point at which things become so inane or dramatic that you stop caring.
Bill: DON'T YOU EVEN CARE WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU? THIS GAME IS MY LIFE!!!
John: No. I reached my apathetic threshold when you bitched about being killed for the sixteenth time.

Edwin: I reached my apathetic threshold when she broke up with me; as if I didn't see that one coming!
Scott: I do say, my good sir! -sips tea-

Threshold of Toast

The few seconds you get to put cold butter on warm toast and have the toast accept that butter and melt it in. If you wait a moment longer the toast is not quite warm enough and you risk tearing the bread or having a butter mess on toast.
Let's discuss what I call "The Threshold of Toast" which is the few seconds you get to put cold butter on warm toast and have the toast accept that butter, while it softens it and soaks it up. That my friends is the Threshold of Toast. Enjoy some soon.

Beard Threshold

When your facial hair constitutes, unequivocally, a beard. Or when your facial hair is now a sign of a deliberate aesthetic choice. This is opposed to someone who simply hasn't shaved in a while or keeps a token amount of short facial hair that really just makes them look lazy or because they are lazy.
"My whole face looks longer today, it must be because I passed the beard threshold"

x- "What do you think of my new beard?"
y- "that's not a beard, you haven't reached the beard threshold"
x-"but I haven't shaved in like 5 days!"
y-"It's still a little patchy, you'll hit the beard threshold soon."
