I thought "funky" was a good thing
You never heard someone referring to something as smelling a bit funky? Just out of curiosity, not knowing myself, I thought I'd see if it was slang or a genuine meaning of the word. And lo and behold it's in the
Chambers Dictionary:
funky
adj (funkier, funkiest) colloq:
1 said of jazz or rock music: strongly rhythmical and emotionally stirring.
2 trendy; good • What funky socks you've got on!
3 earthy; smelly. So if someone said, as in the definition, your socks are a bit funky, you wouldn't know if it was an insult or compliment
