What a combination of definitions it seems to have--"a coarsely ruddy bloated appearance", but also "disheveled", "umkempt", "frowsy"...
ewein, now I'm so sad! (and everyone else who added to this definition!) - I always thought it was a GOOD thing to be "blowsy" - perhaps from reading poetry, in which "blowsy flowers" or "blooms" are referred to - cannot now think of an instance....But I never picked up that it meant dishevelled, etc. I always equated "blowsy" with a kind of charming disarray.
Sigh. Another dream dismantled.
Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.
