   Syn: {Nasty}, {Filthy}, {Foul}, {Dirty}.

   Usage: Anything nasty is usually wet or damp as well as
          filthy or dirty, and disgusts by its stickiness or
          odor; but filthy and foul imply that a thing is filled
          or covered with offensive matter, while dirty
          describes it as defiled or sullied with dirt of any
          kind; as, filthy clothing, foul vapors, etc.
          [1913 Webster]
