:monty: /mon'tee/ [US Geological Survey] n. A program with a
ludicrously complex user interface written to perform extremely
trivial tasks. An example would be a menu-driven, button clicking,
pulldown, pop-up windows program for listing directories. The
original monty was an infamous weather-reporting program, Monty the
Amazing Weather Man, written at the USGS. Monty had a
widget-packed X-window interface with over 200 buttons; and all
monty actually *did* was {FTP} files off the network.
