very dirty; covered with dirt

Very, very dirty, so that it looks or feels bad or unhealthy.

用法パターン: [something] is filthy
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes use "filthy" when they only mean "a bit dirty". "Filthy" is very strong and suggests something is so dirty that it is unpleasant or even disgusting. For normal, everyday dirt, "dirty" is more natural.
類義語
dirty (A general word for not clean; less strong and emotional than "filthy".)

morally disgusting or sexually obscene

Very bad or dirty in a moral way, especially about sex or rude words and pictures.

用法パターン: [someone]/[something] is filthy
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes confuse this meaning with the physical "dirty" sense and say things like "a filthy floor" when they mean "morally bad". Also, some learners don't realize how strong and negative this word is in this sense; using it about a person can sound very insulting.
類義語
obscene (Focuses on being sexually offensive or shocking; slightly more formal than "filthy".)
対義語
decent (Describes language or behavior that follows social and moral rules, not rude or offensive.)

extremely unpleasant or nasty

Very, very unpleasant or nasty, for example weather, a smell, a taste, or the way someone behaves or feels.

用法パターン: [something/someone] is in a filthy [state/mood]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes use "filthy" here where a softer word like "bad" or "unpleasant" would be more natural, especially in formal writing. "Filthy" is very strong and sounds quite emotional and informal.
類義語
disgusting (A strong general word for very unpleasant; does not carry the extra informal, slangy feel that "filthy" can have.)
対義語
pleasant (Describes something that feels nice or enjoyable, the opposite of filthy in this sense.)

extremely rich (informal)

Very, very rich; having a lot more money than most people.

用法パターン: [someone] is filthy rich

類義語
loaded (Informal word for very rich; usually sounds more friendly or light than "filthy rich".)
対義語
broke (Very informal for having no money; the opposite of being rich.)

impressively good (slang)

(Slang) Very, very good or cool in a strong way, for example a move in sport or a part of a song.

用法パターン: filthy [shot/move/beat/etc.]
よくある間違い:
Learners often assume this slang use is negative because the basic meaning of "filthy" is bad. In some youth and sports slang, however, "filthy" is a strong compliment meaning very impressive or cool. It should only be used in informal situations.
類義語
sick (Slang meaning very impressive or cool; used in similar contexts to this sense of "filthy".)
対義語
lame (Slang for boring, weak, or unimpressive, the opposite of this positive slang sense of "filthy".)
