From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   feetch feetch /feech feech/ interj.   If someone tells you about
   some new improvement to a program, you might respond: "Feetch,
   feetch!"   The meaning of this depends critically on vocal
   inflection.   With enthusiasm, it means something like "Boy, that's
   great!   What a great hack!"   Grudgingly or with obvious doubt, it
   means "I don't know; it sounds like just one more unnecessary and
   complicated thing".   With a tone of resignation, it means, "Well,
   I'd rather keep it simple, but I suppose it has to be done".
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   fudge factor n.   [common] A value or parameter that is varied
   in an ad hoc way to produce the desired result.   The terms
   `tolerance' and {slop} are also used, though these usually indicate
   a one-sided leeway, such as a buffer that is made larger than
   necessary because one isn't sure exactly how large it needs to be,
   and it is better to waste a little space than to lose completely for
   not having enough.   A fudge factor, on the other hand, can often be
   tweaked in more than one direction.   A good example is the `fuzz'
   typically allowed in floating-point calculations: two numbers being
   compared for equality must be allowed to differ by a small amount;
   if that amount is too small, a computation may never terminate,
   while if it is too large, results will be needlessly inaccurate.
   Fudge factors are frequently adjusted incorrectly by programmers who
   don't fully understand their import.   See also {coefficient of X}.
