feeping creaturism
     
        /fee'ping kree"ch*r-izm/ 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.
