:hair: /n./ [back-formation from hairy] The complications that make something hairy. "Decoding TECO commands requires a certain amount of hair." Often seen in the phrase infinite hair, which connotes extreme complexity. Also in hairiferous (tending to promote hair growth): "GNUMACS elisp encourages lusers to write complex editing modes." "Yeah, its pretty hairiferous all right." (or just: "Hair squared!")
