Janky

A few minutes ago Jake used the word "Janky" to describe a t-shirt he's making. I asked what "Janky' meant and he was shocked I didn't know. He said he'd been using it for years. I insisted it wasn't a real word and proceeded to look it up. Lo and behold, on the Urban Dictionary site (which explains WHY I'd never heard it before, was the word: Janky - (adjective) inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and delapidated; refers almost exclusively to inanimate material objects, not to people. So now you, too, have increased your vocabulary. I'll have to post a photo of the t-shirt when he's finished with it.
