Wow Factor

characterizes an intense reaction by observer during a presentation of an impressive functional design in technology products, e.g. software, hardware; a reaction to an outstanding feature or function that offers substantial productivity boost, ease of use, simplified, or streamlined elements; literally, “Wow” is uttered by observers of demonstration.

Even early in personal computing, when Steve Jobs demonstrated Apple personal computers the audience was entranced by the 'wow factor'.

X-Pac used the X-Factor to get the pin, but Big Show got up and sat on him, so he turned into a pancake and died.

Chopper Factor

When you think you look good but you do not, chopper factor means how shit you look

Chopper factor 10 is the top of the scale, meaning you are most deluded with how you look. You think you look good, 'chopper factor 10 mate' basically means, 'you look like shit'
