riffy

What does riffy mean?

Dirty in a lived-in, ingrained way — not a quick splash of mud but the kind of grime that's been building. Used of hands, faces, kids who've been up the rec, and dishcloths that should've been binned weeks ago.

"Look at the state of your hands — they're riffy, go and wash 'em."
