The clench factor. Fear factor. You tense up your entire body beginning with your ass. Usually on a scale from one to ten.
Getting ran cut off, ran off the road, sideswiped and flipped upside dow. Various degrees of the pucker factor there.

A semi-common phrase used to describe your butt (bobo) puckering up in an intense situation. The phrase is mostly used when referring to driving situations, but has been used in others.
"Dude! That Semi about flipped my car over!" "Woah man, that is a serious bobo pucker factor."
"I was coming down Sunset Hill at 50 miles per hour when my accelerator stuck! Serious bobo pucker factor, but I managed my way out of it."
"Your bobo is gonna pucker if you keep that up."

A term that one uses to describe, and to discreetly convey in public, their urgency and need to visit a toilet to take a crap. Number nine is always used as the guage to describe the tightness of the sphincter, which conveys that the person is right on the edge of crapping their pants.

The highest rating achievable for sphincter puckering during a high stress situation. The puckering may be so tight as to cause sphincter fluttering. Anything above Zulu is the complete loss of sphincter control. A Pucker Factor Zulu (PFZ) situation is commonly found in Near Death Experiences (NDE), although a NDE is not required. Items nearby, such as under garments, pants, seats, sofa cusions, etc., are often damaged during a full blown PFZ event, as the sphincter clamps down like a pitbull on a tire swing.
Dude! That near head on collision reached Pucker Factor Zulu. It was 5 minutes before my butt let go of the seat!
