Definition

When you overcomplicate a simple task by going unnecessarily high-tech, usually with hilariously impractical results. Think using a drone to deliver a note to your roommate, or in this case, repelling down a wall with lingerie. The phrase celebrates making things harder on yourself in the name of innovation.

Example Usage

He went full tek tecky and wrote a Python script just to turn off his bedroom lights.
