/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.

implication of obscurity or complexity.
