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.
