Morphology

whoop-ass + feature

The element "whoop-ass" is slang derived from the idiom "to whoop someone’s ass" (to beat or dominate) and functions as a coarse intensifier meaning very powerful or impressive. This meaning is idiomatic and tied to slang/register rather than the literal senses of "whoop" and "ass," so a B1 learner who only knows the constituent words would not reliably infer the MWE's intended sense.

Etymology

Whoop-ass feature comes from the slang image of 'opening a can of whoop-ass', a funny picture of releasing strong force in a fight. So a whoop-ass feature means a part of a product that is 'very powerful' or impressively good.
