Fluky

/ˈfluːki/ adjective

Definition

Happening by chance or luck rather than because of skill, planning, or effort.

Etymology

From fluke (a lucky accident or chance occurrence), possibly originating from the flatfish called a fluke, caught unpredictably in nets; the -y suffix makes it an adjective.

Kelly Says

Calling something fluky is saying 'that worked out, but you probably can't do it again!'—it's the word for lucky accidents!
