grufted

(UK, dialect) The particles of soil that are spattered up onto grass by the rain.

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. You'd hear it from a mum telling her kid to clean up before dinner or friends giving someone a good-natured ribbing about their appearance.

Dirty, unwashed, unclean.

(UK) scruffy.

(US, informal) , dirty, disgusting, foul, revolting, yucky, grotesque.
