What does GRUNGY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Dirty, shabby and unpleasant, as if covered with ground-in grime.
Grungy grew out of the slang noun grunge, meaning filth, and it is used for run-down rooms, stained clothes and neglected places. A second sense came with the rock style of the early 1990s, when grungy described its raw guitar sound and its deliberately scruffy fashion of layered, ripped clothing. The word is mildly disapproving unless a speaker is talking about that style on purpose.
