seedy

a seedy district

the seamy side of life

sleazy characters hanging around casinos

{'source': 'Seattle Weekly', 'text': 'sleazy storefronts with … dirt on the walls'}

{'source': 'James Joyce', 'text': 'the sordid details of his orgies stank under his very nostrils'}

as seedy as a fig

my poor ailing grandmother

feeling a bit indisposed today

you look a little peaked

feeling poorly

a sickly child

a surge of ragged scruffy children

{'source': 'Mark Twain', 'text': 'he was soiled and seedy and fragrant with gin'}
