Frowzy describes someone or something that is untidy, unkempt, and often has a stale or musty smell. Imagine someone wearing wrinkled, stained clothes with uncombed hair and a general air of neglect—that’s frowzy. It's a step beyond simple messiness; it suggests a lack of cleanliness and care. Think of it as the opposite of being fresh and well-groomed. Unlike merely being casual, frowzy often implies a lack of effort or even a degree of poverty. So, if you look and smell like you haven't showered in days, you might be considered frowzy.
