feeping creaturism

/feeping kree`ch@rizm/ , 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.
