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.
