spiffy
/spi'fee/ 1. Said of programs having a pretty, clever, or exceptionally well-designed interface. "Have you seen the spiffy X version of empire yet?" This was common mainstream slang during the 1940s. 2. Said sarcastically of a program that is perceived to have little more than a flashy interface going for it.
