|
|
n. [from automotive slang via wargaming] Showy features added to attract
|
|
users but contributing little or nothing to the power of a system. The 3D
|
|
icons in Motif are just chrome, but they certainly are pretty chrome!
|
|
Distinguished from bells and whistles by the fact that the latter are
|
|
usually added to gratify developers' own desires for featurefulness. Often
|
|
used as a term of contempt.
