From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  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.
