J-Factor

An arbitrarily defined value, usually abbreviated by a J in equations, which adjusts for errors in the process of calculation. This is generally used by physics students who are unable to achieve expected results through experimentation.

According to our data, all of the ice caps will melt in 34 days. So I threw in a little j-factor that bumped it up to 94 years.

CDI Factor

Literally "Chicks Dig It." A sarcastic term used to denote anything with a high "gee-whiz" quotient.

Commonly expressed as a 1-10 score, the term is used to denote something (or someone) that is fashionable but lacks utility.

It is a popular "army-speak" term.

Did you see Bob's new shotgun? It has pistol grips, a collapsible stock, a 24x scope, a picaninny rail with flashlight mount, a chromed trigger, and a depiction of Jesus cleansing the temple hand-carved into the stock.

Yeah, I saw it. It has a CDI factor of 10.

What a tool.

SUV factor

Old lady: I want a car that's safe.

Salesman: Then you should consider this Volvo. It's got an SUV factor of 85. About the only car with a higher SUV factor would be a Hummer.
