macdink

/mak´dink/ vt.

[from the Apple Macintosh, which is said to encourage such behavior] To make many incremental and unnecessary cosmetic changes to a program or file. Often the subject of the macdinking would be better off without them. When I left at 11PM last night, he was still macdinking the slides for his presentation. See also fritterware, window shopping.
