From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
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.?
