Notes on BLETCHEROUS
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.
