It means reminiscent of the works of Franz Kafka, especially the Trial. The main character is put on trial by a nightmarish bureaucracy and never really even knows what he's accused of or how he's supposed to comply with the court's procedure which is also unclear, I think he ends up getting executed. It's a good word for describing how it feels living in America sometimes. Probably better than Orwellian since Orwell kind of sucks and the word itself seems mostly used by chuds for all the wrong stuff.
Wow, you really had to go and ruin my blissful ignorance huh? How Orwellian
Jk ily
I always understood it to mean like "cruel, unfair but boring, mundane". Or "bleak to the point of absurdity to an outside viewer".
Yeah that's a pretty good definition
