friode
= F =
frob
fritterware n.
An excess of capability that serves no
productive end. The canonical example is font-diddling software on
the Mac (see macdink); the term describes anything that eats
huge amounts of time for quite marginal gains in function but
seduces people into using it anyway. See also window shopping.
