Resembling or having the quality of a bozo; that is, clownish, ludicrously
|
|||
|
|
wrong, unintentionally humorous. Compare <a href="../W/wonky.html"><i class="glossterm">wonky</i></a>,
|
|||
|
|
<a href="../D/demented.html"><i class="glossterm">demented</i></a>. Note that the noun ‘bozo’
|
|||
|
|
occurs in slang, but the mainstream adjectival form would be
|
|||
|
|
‘bozo-like’ or (in New England) ‘bozoish’.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="boxology.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="brain-dump.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">boxology<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>brain dump</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
