Big ball of mud
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
A big ball of mud is a software system that lacks a perceivable software architecture.
Description
Although undesirable from a software engineering point of view, such systems are common in practice due to business pressures, developer turnover, and software entropy.
They are a type of design anti-pattern.
Joel Moses has been credited with coining the phrase in the 1970s.
