fug [fuhg] (n)

1. a very poorly thought out feature.

2. a bug so virtuous that it appears to some as a feature.

From the fusion of “feature” and “bug”

What do you think? Would you use it?

You're going to have a hard time reclaiming the word/acronym from the celebrity gossip weblogs/sites:

Fug already has a meaning. It's the smell of a stuffy room. (It's one of Rtm's favorite words.)
