     even more losing than Ronald McDonald] Resembling or having the quality
     of a bozo; that is, clownish, ludicrously wrong, unintentionally
     humorous. Compare {wonky}, {demented}. Note that the noun `bozo' occurs
     in slang, but the mainstream adjectival form would be `bozo-like' or (in
     New England) `bozoish'.


  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  bozotic
       
           (From Bozo the Clown, a famous circus personality, via
          "bozo" - a clod, idiot or generally silly person) any form of
          clown-like or ludicrous behaviour.  The word also has echoes
          of "robotic", so bozotic behaviour is mindless, automaton-like
          stupidity.
