Figuratively, rähmät can be used to describe something that is messy, unpleasant, or of poor quality. It can imply a lack of refinement or something that is difficult to deal with. For instance, a poorly executed plan or a disorganized situation might be referred to as rähmät. The term carries a generally negative connotation when used in this figurative sense.

The specific meaning of rähmät often depends on the context in which it is used, but the core idea revolves around a sticky, viscous, or unappealing quality.
