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. Which

meaning should be drawn depends delicately on tone of voice

and context.
