kinked
Not lying straight
Kinked describes something with a kink—a sharp twist, bend, or curl that disrupts a smooth line.
A kinked hose won't flow properly; kinked hair has tight curls or bends.
Figuratively, kinked can mean having unusual sexual tastes, from the slang sense of kink as unconventional desire: a kinked imagination.
