=
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.
