funky

adj. Said of something that functions, but in a slightly strange, klugey
way. It does the job and would be difficult to change, so its obvious
non-optimality is left alone. Often used to describe interfaces. The more
bugs something has that nobody has bothered to fix because workarounds are
easier, the funkier it is. TECO and UUCP are funky. The Intel i860's
exception handling is extraordinarily funky. Most standards acquire
funkiness as they age. The new mailer is installed, but is still somewhat
funky; if it bounces your mail for no reason, try resubmitting it. This UART
is pretty funky. The data ready line is active-high in interrupt mode and
active-low in DMA mode.
