Resembling or having the quality of a bozo; that is, clownish,
ludicrously wrong, unintentionally humorous. Compare {wonky},
{demented}. Note that the noun `bozo' occurs in slang, but the

`bozoish'.

bozotic
<abuse> (From Bozo the Clown, a famous circus personality, via
"bozo" - a clod, idiot or generally silly person) any form of
clown-like or ludicrous behaviour. The word also has echoes
of "robotic", so bozotic behaviour is mindless, automaton-like
stupidity.
