This is an old term that refers to a movement of the zoom lens that you
don't
do yourself. If you point some zooms downward, they can move (by
gravity) on
their own and change the mm setting.

Your zoom extends to max on its own by gravity when pointed downward.

That would (in US English, at least) define Lens Creep. Lens Creap is
a photographer that looks less sociable than a drunken street person
with a terrorist attitude.

The Canon 70-300 DO IS USM LMNOPQ has a switch on the barrel that
sticks it at 70mm forever, unless it is released.

C'mon, Rich - you know full well that it has sexual connotations - it's the
involuntary extending of a lens which, itself, is merely representation of
the penile erection obtained by many camera enthusiasts when photographing
couples having sexual intercourse in car parks.

Or, in your case, when standing at a urinal...... (wasn't it you who said
that it wasn't possible to be over-exposed in public conveniences?)

Lens creep, when a zoom moves from the weight of the glass, or looseness of
the zoom mechanism.

Lens creap, a paparazzi

I misread it!

A Lens Creap is that guy that laughs at your 24-105mm f/4 'cause his
75-300mm f/4-5.6... WITH lens hood, is so much longer.

Then there's Lens Crepe, which happens when you drop your camera in the
pancake batter.
