The term "wonky" is an adjective used to describe something that is not quite right, or not functioning as it should. It can refer to a person who appears awkward or strange, or to an object that is malfunctioning or broken. The term has its origins in the 19th century English language and originally referred to someone who was crooked or lopsided. Today, "wonky" is often used more lightheartedly to describe something that is not quite perfect but still enjoyable or charming in some way.
