monty

/mon'tee/ [US Geological Survey] 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.
