Is seedy the right word? [closed]
I use the word “Seedy” quite often in my daily speech, mostly to describe how sick or poorly someone is feeling (I.E. “I’m feeling quite seedy today.” “Are you feeling seedy?”) or describing something of poor quality or standard (I.E. a seedy Wi-Fi connection or seedy driving skills). However, I am unsure if I am using the right word. The only examples I could find were things that described places (seedy bar, seedy motel) and attire (seedy clothes). I also use it when describing something dodgy or shady (a seedy website).
Solution 1:
You won't hear seedy used that way in American English. Seedy implies dirty and possibly immoral, such as a seedy bar. Ill, sick and under the weather can be used instead (at least in American English).
