/gonzoh/ , 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.
