bletcherous
/blech'*-r*s/ Disgusting in design or function; aesthetically unappealing. This
word is seldom used of people. "This keyboard is bletcherous!" (Perhaps the keys
don't work very well, or are misplaced.) 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.
