Very imprecise definitions:
Back when I first learned things, spoofed routing was anytime a packet
claimed a source address different from it's origin. These days it is
generally used to refer to any packet claiming an internal source address
that has it's origin outside the network. A packet claiming to come from
192.168.0.1 or 127.0.0.1 that enters your ppp0 device is spoofed.
Stuffed routing is when any local traffic is being sent out an external
interface rather than remaining on the local network. You've just made your
local traffic available to the world so your traffic can now be sniffed and
monitored by folks on the outside. At the very least you are using
bandwidth (with its associated costs) unnecessarily. If you've just sent
packets with source addresses of 192.168.0.1 out the ppp0 device your
routing is stuffed (and you'll never see a sign of it from the outside since
those are not routable on the internet).
Hope that helps,
Lourdes
