The name comes from wanting to make things “juicy”.

  Fatter buttons? I understand the idea is to 'juice up' the UI, but again, IMHO, it's not the right word for non-essential-but-nice additional behaviors. And I believe the original 'slang' usage comes from 'juicing' your engine, your portfolio, etc, ie squeezing extra performance out of it, which is almost the opposite meaning to here.

    Just to be clear, the word has already been used for at least 11 years in the game industry. (ex see https://youtu.be/Fy0aCDmgnxg https://youtu.be/Fy0aCDmgnxg), and it is very frequently used. There is absolutely no sense in which it is the “not the right word”, especially not at this point, where it has a very clear meaning in that field. I don’t know where the term originated, but I’ve always thought of it as having to do with fruit. An apple is good, a juicy apple is better. The two may have the exact same flavor, but the juiciness improves experience of eating the apple.
