encrapsulation

A very poorly designed and often unnecessary attempt at utilizing one of the central tenets of object-oriented software, often detrimental to the success.

The latest version of our crapplication makes extensive use of encrapsulation in the design to insure mind-numbingly slow performance.

fubarchitecture

A software application architecture that is extremely messed up, or FUBAR. Typically evolved over a period of time with multiple owners and a lack of vision, planning, or interest in quality.

I can't believe they are going to try to sell this fubarchitecture to our customers.

I couldn't believe that they were paying those devtards more than the project manager.
