Monolith Slang

Definitions

1. A casual use of 'monolith' to describe anything large, tightly coupled, or centralized, even when it is not literally a monolithic application. It reflects how architectural terms drift into general tech shorthand.

   In plain English: Using 'monolith' loosely to mean big, centralized, or hard to separate.

   Example: "People call the analytics pipeline a monolith slang problem even though it's five services with one owner."
