The creep factor or the sketch ball...ewwww

There are two phrases that are all abuzz these days in your typical bar or nightclub. The first one is the 'creep factor'. There are many ladies out there who have quipped: "You see that guy over there...he is such a creep." The creep factor label comes with no explanation, small anecdotal evidence and is an unfortunate moniker for some gentlemen who fall under this category. I have heard many a lady utter this phrase in the last few years, and I am still searching for a detailed definition. Gentlemen, watch out. It seems that every move you might make might make you a creep. A gentleman ordering a turkey sandwich for lunch could be a creep. A gentleman combing his hair might be labeled a creep too.

The next catch phrase is 'sketch ball'. This phrase is usually thrown around with little care too. I have heard many a lady state: "Do you see that guy drinking a beer?...Well, he looks like a complete sketch ball." When I have asked for more explanation, there is silence. Creep factor and sketch ball are inextricably linked, and tossed around so effortlessly.

A man goes to the bar and sits in a corner with a beer. He takes out a pad of paper and begins to draw naked ladies in open view of everyone. He then jumps up on the bar, puts on his sunglasses, and drops his pants. He is really a lady. Creep factor and sketch ball.
