padders
Those who embellish
Padders are those who pad—adding extra material to inflate something beyond its natural size.
Writers become padders when they stretch thin content with unnecessary words to meet length requirements.
In expense reports, padders add fictitious charges.
The term often carries a note of mild accusation: The essay was clearly the work of a padder.
