bletcherous

   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.
