Hi Johnie, Like many other words, "funky" has loose and varying meanings. I'm not a native English speaker myself so I asked my wife what "funky" means and she said "interesting", "strange" and "unusual".
The American Heritage dictionary<http://www.bartleby.com/61/63/F0366300.html>says: "When asked which words in the English language are the most difficult to define precisely, a lexicographer would surely mention *funky."* Yes, we could all go and use simple English but that would be a shame because language can be so colorful. alex On Sun, May 17, 2009 at 2:49 PM, johnnie <[email protected]> wrote: > > A documentation author for Lift said, > Hmmm.
