Funk (2. smell): a. a usually objectionable musky odor emanating from human underarms and genitalia, especially in the male but to a lesser extent the female, resulting from glandular secretions and bodily functions.

Woman :Funking hell! What is that fat cow wearing again? Can't believe she's with the Vicar.
Friend : Ah funk it,who cares ?
Woman : Looks like your husband does.
Friend : Oh funk,yeah!
Vicar: Ooh did I hear anyone talking about funk ?
Both Women: Funkadeliiic!
and that's how you save the night!

A style of music emerging in the late 1960's blending soul, jazz and R&B, mostly played by African Americans at the time.
These days, most people mistake bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine to be funk bands, when they are actually funk METAL bands. There is a lot of difference. These bands simply take the base styles and drum styles used in funk and incorporate them into metal.
REAL funk artists use pretty much the same lineup as a jazz group, which includes saxophones, trumpets, trombones, keyboards/pianos, drums, bass and sometimes guitar.
Examples of real funk artists are:
Herbie Hancock
James Brown
Stevie Wonder
