Oksie can you tell me how this word should be used please?

I saw Juror add it to the thread about words we learn from you. I did not see the original post it was used in.

But I've used it ever since in whatever context I deem appropriate.

Maybe I don't want to know the true meaning. But lets pretend I do.

Love you brother. Miss you.
 
Hello Bread...

The word wonky is an adjective that most commonly denotes something that is askew in some fashion or even a bit unbalanced.

I believe my regular usage of this word occurs in reference to someone's eye(s): "Yes, that blind date you set up for me was lovely however I fear I stared a little too much at his wonky eye throughout dinner."

Exhibit A of a wonky eye:

Exhibit B:

However it also comes in handy when one is just trying to express that things seems a bit off somehow or even just not performing as it should. "Either I'm very plastered or this chair feels really wonky." "What kind of wonky ass computer freezes every 2 minutes?" "I'm sorry I didn't call you on your birthday but my phone has been wonky lately."

I hope I have suitably provided you with a few uses for a word I hold very dear to my heart.

Forever,

Oksana
