shitty

A shitty situation is one that's unpleasant or difficult. You might hear someone say their day was really shitty because something bad happened.

When people use this word, they often talk about how annoying or frustrating a particular moment or experience was. They might complain about traffic being really shitty, like it's taking forever to get anywhere. Or someone might say their boss was being really shitty by yelling at them in front of others. In both cases, the person is using "shitty" to describe something that's really bothering them, rather than literally meaning dirty or disgusting.
