What does FUNKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalmusic
Having the earthy, rhythmic quality of funk music, or, in another common sense, having a strong unpleasant smell.
Funky most often describes music built on a strong dance beat and soulful, bluesy feeling, the style associated with funk. In everyday speech it also means fashionably unconventional, as in funky clothes or a funky little cafe. A quite different, older sense calls something funky simply because it smells strongly and unpleasantly.
