functional-beauty

Beauty derived from functionalism.

Adjective form: "functionally-beautiful"

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.

Non Functional Display Unit

Slang term for a female who appears normal and even attractive yet can't function properly in society due to brainwashing by the left, gender studies classes, or prudish beliefs otherwise attained.

Sadly many college women today are NDFU ( Non Functional Display Units )

Fit form and function

Item in question fits the design, is the correct form as design and functions as needed. However may still look like shit. Good to be used in many things however products that are artistic is a no no...

This custom frame meets fit form and function. It fits the art, meets your required look and holds the art. No bob it looks like shit.

basic human function

basic action which every human beeing should be capable of unless they are disabled in a certain way.

Functional flake

A person who lets other, less important, things take precedence and does not plan things through but in the end manages to make things fall into place and function efficiently and seamlessly (on the surface)

Karina is as good a functional flake as they come. No one can tell.
