cthulhic: /kthool´hik/, adj. Having the nature of a Cthulhu, the horrific tentacled green
monstrosity from H.P. Lovecraft's seminal horror fiction. Cthulhu sends
dreams that drive men mad, feeds on the flesh of screaming victims rent
limb from limb, and is served by a cult of degenerates. Hackers think this
describes large proprietary systems such as
traditional mainframes, installations of SAP and
Oracle, or rooms full of Windows servers remarkably well, and the adjective
is used casually. Compare Shub-Internet and
crawling horror.
