My friend who is an engineer, will stare at the following things, like one gazes at fine art: Wood-burning-stoves, Stirling-engines, Opticas, Orinithropters, Theremins, Brachistichrone-curves, and Derigibles; because they have a functional-beauty derived from the elegant way they achieve their goals.
Many "functionalist" buildings are not functionally-beautiful, because the designers often forego the shortest/quickest paths in favor of a cumbersome grid-like floorplan.

A function check is a military euphemism for male masturbation, as if to compare the penis to a weapon.
Private Duffy, perform a function check on that M4 rifle.
Yo man, I’m so horny I’m going to go perform a “function check”. If you know what I mean.

He function is an event or party of which a group of individuals within different social groups, with little to no interaction normally, are attending, leading to humorous and sometimes disastrous outcomes.
Jim “did you hear about the party last night?”
Bob “no who was there?”
Jim “Jenny AND Zoe”
Bob “NO WAY HE FUNCTION!”

A black kid that never once got their ass whooped as a kid, but somehow all they can talk about is how much harder it is to be them than it is to have lighter (especially pale) skin (usually to try and walk over or manipulate people that experience has taught them tend to be easier to manipulate than their own people).
All the functional marginalized whiner did was complain about how immature and dysfunctional all these so called privileged whites got to be, if only he/she could act that way like he/she wished for as a kid (as the stereotype goes, all the blond kids were having all the fun).

A black kid that never got their ass whooped by an authority figure (such as a parent) as a kid, then they get out into the world where not everybody has to be nice or refrain from cursing all the time and all of a sudden it's harder to be them than it is to be anybody (especially somebody with lighter skin/hair).
Nobody ever picked on the functional marginalized whiner, instead people usually picked on people they thought were easier targets, people with lighter skin and hair, people that seemed more childish and fucked up, people that didn't seem as together.

A person who is good at their job, and not actually lazy - but is someone who never replaces the toilet paper, never buys the milk, never empties the bins, never buys the doughnuts, never sweeps up, never refills the coffee, thus is functionally lazy

The lan Function or lan's Function is a series of memes about attending a function at a person named lan's house and having horrible things happen to them. The meme trend was popularized on TikTok in February 2024 through a series of slideshows about attending "the lan function."
