During a s/w products life it will reach a pinnacle of functionality and performance. Subsequent releases of the software tend to diminish from that pinnacle and merely becomes a licensing/revenue raising exercise with lower quality releases as a result.

Someone who insists on only eating meat and does not give a crap about political correctness, by all those flatulent vegetarians.
Will only eat vegetables providing there is a side of cow/fish/chicken associated with it, or they will be deeply offended about the lack consideration shown by vegetarians who insist on omitting meat from a regular meal

A "phat number" is some marketing sales buzz factoid that is true in a specific context but mis-leading the audience in a deceptive way.
For instance saying something is 99% fat free, is true but a useless number as the sugar content is usually more important and is manufactured into foods at un-healthy levels.
Phat numbers are also commonly used in IT circles when large corporations (Microsoft/IBM/Oracle) are trying to sound up beat about their market share.

Saying McDonalds burgers have only 6% fat. (But 60% carbohydrates) is a phat number.
Saying that sweet yoghurts are 99% fat free is another phat number, because it's the sugar that makes you fat.
Detergents with claims that their product "Contains no phosphates" or 0% phosphate, when the fact is that phosphates do not exist in any detergent, so it's a phat number.
Saying something is "free" or 0 dollars when you need to hand over a credit card number before signing up, makes 0 (zero) a phat number.
IBM reports they have acquired 18000 new customers is a phat number as they do not qualify what is a "new customer". Is it clients who upgraded s/w ? or clients who have not had IBM s/w before ? Very ambigous so it's a phat number.
