CDI factor

Noun

US slang uncountable

(US, slang) An intangible quality, usually attributed to certain items of professional equipment but sometimes to particular positions within predominantly and traditionally male professions such as law enforcement and the military where the term is most frequently used, that is believed to stir inordinate interest in obtaining the item or position because it makes the possessor feel confident, cool and thus desirable to women.
