feature creep

Phenomenon whereby a software package gains many more features than originally intended.

Generally the product of optimistic programmers or overambitious managers, feature creep is generally considered a bad thing. Feature creep makes a program that would have done one thing well into a program that does ten things, all poorly. Microsoft Outlook suffers badly from feature creep.

Her: Oh, we could add TCP/IP remote management!
Him: We need to make sure it has a standard SNMP interface. And metrics analysis.
Me: Watch out for feature creep - it's only a screen saver.

ninjew

A ninjew is a Jew who has developed some level of skill in jew-fu. A certain amount of strength is also required, as the ninjew may be called upon to stab vigorously. They have been known to wail on guitar or do other things that are totally sweet. The natural enemy of the pirate.

Ninjews are rare and hard to pick out of a crowd.

Facts:
1. Ninjews are mammals, and often hairy to the point of being jewbacca.
2. Ninjews fight ALL the time, except when they're drinking or bitching. A bitch-drink-fight cycle is not uncommon.
3. The purpose of the ninjew is to flip out and kill people.

Ted is wailing on a guitar while he's drinking, and that's totally sweet. You can tell he's a ninjew.
