hairy
     
        1. Annoyingly complicated.  "{DWIM} is incredibly hairy."
     
        2. Incomprehensible.  "{DWIM} is incredibly hairy."
     
        3. Of people, high-powered, authoritative, rare, expert,

        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" and was very likely
        ancestral to the hackish use.  In fact the noun "long-hair"
        was at the time used to describe a hairy person.  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.
     
        4.  {hairy ball}.
