grotty

I miss that place.

So do I. Here it's a little like living in S--, near C--. Flat. Vaguely urban. Grotty.

Grotty. Is that an adjective or a verb?

It's an adjective.

Grotto-like? Grottoid?

I always think of it like gritty, but with bigger, greasier grit that's worked its way into everything. You know: grot.

Ah!

Like in other people's showers.

Grit grat grot groat.

I had never thought of it, but yes.

I understand these things.

Yes, you do.
