gonzo
/gon'zoh/, adj.
[from Hunter S. Thompson]
1. With total commitment, total concentration, and a mad sort of
panache. (Thompson's original sense.)
2. More loosely: Overwhelming; outrageous; over the top; very large,
esp. used of collections of source code, source files, or individual
functions. Has some of the connotations of {moby} and {hairy}, but
without the implication of obscurity or complexity.
