Fuggly

/fuhg'lee/

adj. Emphatic form of funky; funky + ugly). Unusually for hacker jargon, this may actually derive from black street-jive. To say it properly, the first syllable should be growled rather than spoken.

Usage: humorous.

"Man, the ASCII-to-EBCDIC code in that printer driver is *fuggly*."

See also wonky.
