Wonky? I'm sorry but I've never heard that term. What does it mean?
Officially:
wonky: adj:
1: turned or twisted toward one side; "a...youth with a gorgeous red necktie all awry"- G.K.Chesterton [syn: askew, awry, cockeyed, lopsided]
2: inclined to shake as from weakness or defect; "a rickety table"; "a wobbly chair with shaky legs"; "the ladder felt a little wobbly"; "the bridge still stands though one of the arches is wonky" [syn: rickety, shaky, wobbly]
More appropriately for the IT world:
wonky /wong'kee/ adj. [from Australian slang] Yet another approximate synonym for broken. Specifically connotes a malfunction that produces behavior seen as crazy, humorous, or amusingly perverse. "That was the day the printer's font logic went wonky and everybody's listings came out in Tengwar." Also in `wonked out'. See funky, demented, bozotic.
I tend to use it in the later fashion -- Usually when something's not actually broken, but not working correctly at all.
