Catchword for “sheisty”
Catchword: sheisty
Filed under: ,
Part of speechadj.
The part of speech reflects that used in the full entry, and not necessarily the part of speech as it is used in the quotation below.
Quotation: I’ve seen several bloggers use the term in different ways. In one case it seemed to mean “crappy,” which makes sense if it’s from the German “sheisse” (shit), but otter peeps don’t use it like that. “She got shiesty on me,” one blogger wrote, and in context it seemed to mean “weird” or possibly “suspicious.” Definitely not “shitty.”
