Notes on  ROCOCO 

Terminally BAROQUE. Used to imply that a program has become so
encrusted with the software equivalent of gold leaf and curlicues
that they have completely swamped the underlying design. Called after
the later and more extreme forms of Baroque architecture and
decoration prevalent during the mid-1700s in Europe. Alan Perlis
said: "Every program eventually becomes rococo, and then rubble."
