/blech'*-r*s/ Disgusting in design or function; aestheticallyunappealing. This word is seldom used of people. "Thiskeyboard is bletcherous!" (Perhaps the keys don't work verywell, or are misplaced.) The term bletcherous applies tothe esthetics of the thing so described; similarly forcretinous. By contrast, something that is "losing" or"bagbiting" may be failing to meet objective criteria.
