smetigt

Smetigt is a Swedish adjective that translates to "greasy," "dirty," or "filthy" in English. It is commonly used to describe things that are covered in or characterized by grease, oil, or general uncleanliness. The word can be applied to a wide range of subjects, from food and surfaces to people's appearance or even abstract concepts.

When describing food, "smetigt" often implies an excessive amount of fat or oil, making it unpleasant to eat. For instance, a dish that is too greasy might be described as "smetigt." In terms of physical objects or surfaces, it refers to a layer of grime or grease, such as a "smetigt" kitchen counter or a "smetigt" engine part.

The term can also extend to describe a person's appearance or personal hygiene. Someone who is unkempt or visibly unclean might be called "smetigt." Figuratively, "smetigt" can be used to describe something morally or ethically questionable, suggesting a lack of integrity or a "dirty" nature, though this is a less common usage. The etymology of the word is believed to be related to the old Swedish word "smeta," meaning to smear or daub.
