An adjective with two distinct senses: first, in drug slang, it describes something that resembles marijuana (hash) in smell, taste, or quality — typically used to describe food, smoke, or a vague herbal scent. Second, in Scottish dialect, 'hashy' means slovenly, messy, or carelessly done. The drug-related sense is the more widely understood modern usage, while the Scottish dialect sense is historical and obscure. Both senses carry a sense of something that is rough-edged or imprecise in character.
The herbal tea had a distinctly hashy aftertaste that made everyone at the table raise an eyebrow.
