messy

Something that's messy is untidy and disorganized.

When we say something or someone is messy, we usually mean it's hard to look at because things are all over the place. A person might get messy when they're cooking and food spills everywhere on their clothes and the kitchen floor. If you have a messy desk, it means your papers and pens are scattered around instead of being neatly arranged. Sometimes people use the word "messy" to describe someone's behavior too - if they're always making a fuss or getting worked up about something, we might say they're being a bit messy.
