feature creep

what Mark CIO cries for in his sleep. Sees it as a good thing not as a bad.

Letting the dozy clients add more work without extending the deadline.
Mark won't do anything about all this feature creep, it's like getting 1,000 cold henrys!

Feature creep

Feature creep means too many unwanted features that clearly don't fit the original design and/or purpose.
Elari KidPhone 3G is a kids' smartwatch, it already had shitty battery life, but they added a MP3 player! That's some of the wildest feature creep I've ever seen in a firmware update!

Feature creeper

The feature creeper is someone who, instead of settling with simple, predefined design and working around it, starts constantly adding stuff that weren't accounted for, cluttering the design with more and more features that may or may not be unnecessary(an act known as feature creep). Usually, they will not admit they've just commited a feature creep.
