weird.

I have no idea how I came upon this word and i don't know what it means but it kept popping up in my mind.

I feel frumpy.
I look frumpy.
I am frumpy.

From the sound of it, it doesn't seem too flattering (think: grumpy). Oh well, not that I am feeling fabulous these days. Then today I decided to look up its meaning.
