feeping creaturism
/fee'ping kree`ch*r-izm/ n. A deliberate
spoonerism for creeping featurism, meant to imply that the
system or program in question has become a misshapen creature of
hacks. This term isn't really well defined, but it sounds so neat
that most hackers have said or heard it. It is probably reinforced
by an image of terminals prowling about in the dark making their
customary noises.
