Episode: Frowzy
Description: Frowzy is an adjective that means ‘scruffy and neglected in appearance.’
The origin of our word of the day is unknown, but the word is used in a context that’s never meant to be flattering whether in reference to a person or a place. Example: Inviting our parents over to the messy dorm room was always an embarrassing affair. The place was so frowzy, our guests would aghast.
