British slang for looking rough, unkempt, or generally scruffy — like you got dressed in the dark and haven't met a hairbrush recently. Someone who's grufty might have muddy clothes, messy hair, or just that overall disheveled energy. It's a gently critical term without being too harsh — more descriptive than cruel.

A tract of land in which the dead are buried.
(archaic) Coarse meal; groats.
