functor

A functor, or function object, is a class in C++ with the () operator overloaded. Functors are used a lot in the standard library to do custom comparisons. They're used in place of function pointers because sometimes you need to store a value or remember something (ie. put the functor into a special 'state' for whatever purpose), a functor can do this, a function pointer can't (without messing with global variables).

class over5 { // this class is the functor
bool operator() (int x) {
return x > 5;
}
};

std::list<int> L;

... // put a bunch of ints onto the list

over5 o5;
std::find_if(L.begin(), L.end(), o5);

// o5 will have its overloaded () operator called to check if the element in L is over 5.

Functionable

HGTV Season 4 Design Star Jason Champion made this word popular during taping of season 4 April 2009. Jason brought Southern to LaLa land and made it an every day word.

This room is not functionable for this family.

It's like lunch, but it's fun, cause it moves

This lady came to me in a dream and said, "Funch. It's like lunch, but it's fun, cause it moves."

Zee's funch was more than he bargained for when it started squirming.

That looks like a functivity.
