bletcherous
/blech'@.r@s/, adj.
Disgusting in design or function; esthetically unappealing. This word
is seldom used of people. "This keyboard is bletcherous!" (Perhaps the
keys don't work very well, or are misplaced.) See {losing},
{cretinous}, {bagbiting}, {bogus}, and {random}. The term
{bletcherous} applies to the esthetics of the thing so described;
similarly for {cretinous}. By contrast, something that is losing or
bagbiting may be failing to meet objective criteria. See also {bogus}
and {random}, which have richer and wider shades of meaning than any
of the above.
