Supposedly a singing contest, yet instead one huge joke. All it is is an unfair competition in which a young, good-looking yet naive wannabe-famous boy or girl is chosen to be the next one hit wonder popstar to generate money for Simon Cowell. The winner is usually forgotten about after a few months, becoming only background noise in the music industry, but that doesn't matter to Simon, as he does it every year. The shows are heavily decorated and the drama is over exaggerated, making it even less about the singing, and to make matters worse the judges are always people that don't actually know much about music or singing. Plus the performances are usually enhanced with pre-recorded backing vocals. And no, your votes don't count, Simon chooses who goes through and who doesn't. It's a shame how music is about money nowadays, and not emotion and expression, and The X Factor is only making it worse.

The act of your sphincter grabbing some of the seat underneath you as you narrowly escape a dire situation (i.e. an emergency procedure, enemy fire, RPGs, SAM missiles.) while flying a helicopter for the U.S. Army.
My pucker factor was on level 10 when I experienced enemy fire and lost power to my engines. We autorotated and made it safely to the ground. But dang, i still got some of that seat in my butt.

Aussie expression for a girl that is not necessarily pretty, but you would root her because she has a slutty attraction about her.

A simple attempt to measure and quantify the amount of alcohol needed in order for you (or your friend) to willingly copulate with any given female. A fun game to play in a pub, the standard of measurement is one draw (draft) of an average strength American beer. While a reasonably attractive female may rate a 5-6 beer factor, a more homely specimen may require a 12 or 15 beer factor. On the other hand, a very attractive female may not warrant the need for any beer at all, resulting in the prized "ZBF" or "Zero Beer Factor".
Frank was scoping over some fat broad playing pool in the back room. She looked like a dyke to me. She was so fugly that she was probably a 24 beer factor.
