fux

fux (noun)
/plural: fuxes/

Definition:
A software bug that should have been fixed already but wasn’t—usually because the team prioritized new features over stability. A blend of fuck-up and bug fix, a fux represents the cost of moving too fast and breaking things without circling back.

Example Usage:

"That’s not just a bug—it’s a fux. We knew about it two sprints ago."

"This crash on launch? Total fux. Everyone was too busy with the new UI rollout."

"The product’s full of fuxes. Time to freeze features and clean house."
