7. I feel like there is some context for calling the late Claude Jobs "Funky Claude", but that Deep Purple may have lacked the funk credentials to say it.

Wasn't.the funky cold Medina rooted in, or at least an outgroth, extension, or descendant of funk music.

8. word to describe anything that's perceived as off the beaten path, said mainly by 50 year old women in cat sweaters. ex. "we went to that funky cafe downtown with all the old couches."

Oh yeah, couches! We used to have coffee shop in Baltimore known as Funk's Democratic Coffee Spot. Thinkthey might have had a couch or two. At least some mismatched chairs.
