1. A music style associated with the 70s that emphasizes the importance of a groove (and sometimes sensuality)
Funk musicians, especially the bass player, place notes between beats, but the first beat is always emphasized and returned to in the pocket. It is common for the electric guitar player to mute often in strumming patterns. Funk needs drum and bass to be funk. You can dance to funk, hence funk 1 is derived from funk 2.
2. Sweat (African American vernacular English). Often associated with sensual acts (e.g. dancing, mating), although now more obsolete than funk 3.
3. A foul odour. Possibly the result of funk 2.
4. Replacement for "fuck" in "fuck" expressions (e.g. funk you, funked up).
