Ratty

I felt out of place with my ratty pants and wrinkled shirt.

The communications were ratty though because the shuttle is being obscured by the station.

We got an old tin lantern, and a butcher knife without any handle, and a bran-new Barlow knife worth two bits in any store, and a lot of tallow candles, and a tin candlestick, and a gourd, and a tin cup, and a ratty old bed-quilt off the bed, […] and just as we were leaving I found a tolerable good curry-comb, and Jim he found a ratty old fiddle-bow, and a wooden leg.

The Marcher lord was still clad in his ratty black cloak and dented breastplate with its chipped enamel lightning.

I was having exactly that thought on a ratty mock-leather couch in Islington.

He got bad, he got ratty, he would take it out on people around him. He was mean when it turned against him.
