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.
