specifiction

When the product manual and the actual product behavior are miss-matched. Commonly found in software, but can apply to any product, particularly those that need to be assembled.

I tried my best to install the "Widget Accelerator" application, but could not get it to work until I performed the 'optional' install which was required. The box had the biggest specifiction of all: "easy one step install".

The playground equipment i built had the vaguest of instructions about 50% of what needed to be done was not shown or documented in the specifiction.

Get the specifiction mug.

specifiction

A detailed description of the design and materials used to make something except that most of what it says is bogus. Commonly seen on eBay listings, shoddy third-party Amazon sellers, and Etsy.

After ordering the item from that retailer in China and waiting almost 4 weeks for it to show up, I realized that I had been tricked by the specifiction into thinking that it would actually fit. It didn't.

spicification

Spicification is the gradual insidious deterioration of traditional American culture into a bilingual country socially overwhelmed by the surge in the country's Hispanic population caused by illegal immigration and vastly higher fertility rates among these people, and by their historically uncivilized, violent ghetto mentality. Associated social problems include increased drug trafficking, nigher homicide rates, more prison overcrowding, and soaring welfare costs of all kinds.

The Southern states like Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California are losing their social fabric because of the spicification occurring within them.
