From 99% Invisible, Interstellar Illusions: “Greebles” Lend Large Sci-Fi Structures a Sense of Scale:
In the world of physical modeling, creating variations to make things look big can be as simple as gluing small pieces onto models and allowing these accretions to suggest immense structures. […]
One pending suggestion for a dictionary definition of greebles shows that the term’s use has broadened over time, too, including any “cosmetic detailing added to the surface of a larger object that makes it appear more complex or technologically advanced on film sets and on toys to make them appear more realistic and hand tools to give the impression of higher quality.”
Not to hijack the point, but there has to be a corresponding effect for almost all political discussions, especially the ones on TV.
