hairy
adj.
1. Annoyingly complicated. ?DWIM is incredibly hairy.?
2. Incomprehensible. ?DWIM is incredibly hairy.?
3. Of people, high-powered, authoritative, rare, expert, and/or
incomprehensible. Hard to explain except in context: ?He knows this hairy
lawyer who says there's nothing to worry about.? See also hirsute.
There is a theorem in simplicial homology theory which states that any
continuous tangent field on a 2-sphere is null at least in a point.
Mathematically literate hackers tend to associate the term ?hairy? with the
informal version of this theorem; ?You can't comb a hairy ball smooth.?
(Previous versions of this entry associating the above informal statement
with the Brouwer fixed-point theorem were incorrect.)
The adjective ?long-haired? is well-attested to have been in slang use
among scientists and engineers during the early 1950s; it was equivalent to
modern hairy senses 1 and 2, and was very likely ancestral to the hackish
use. In fact the noun ?long-hair? was at the time used to describe a person
satisfying sense 3. Both senses probably passed out of use when long hair
was adopted as a signature trait by the 1960s counterculture, leaving
hackish hairy as a sort of stunted mutant relic.
In British mainstream use, ?hairy? means ?dangerous?, and consequently, in
British programming terms, ?hairy? may be used to denote complicated and/or
incomprehensible code, but only if that complexity or incomprehesiveness is
also considered dangerous.
