I regularly get my tech-talk update from NetLingo, the best techie dictionary on the InterWeb I reckon! Today is no different we have the grand term:

clunky

A term used to describe something slow or outdated, as in, “That dinosaur browser sure is clunky.” It implies you can hear the machinery hobbling about trying to process your commands.

Classic! I think I’ve said this term 00’s of times in the last 10 or so years, mainly pertaining to the user experience on Mobile devices. Computers I think often get the thick end of being described this way, but the amount of Operating Systems which have been laggy, illogical, or downright frustrating (all falling in to the superset of CLUNKY) is very high!

Now what is the clunkiest device you’ve ever had? 10 points for the winner
