Definition
Worn-out, broken, or in poor condition; shabby or rickety.
Etymology
Derived from 'crock,' the noun meaning a broken pot or worthless thing, with the adjective suffix '-y' added to indicate a quality or state of being like that thing.
Kelly Says
Words like 'crocky' show how physical objects become metaphors for condition—calling something 'crocky' is like saying it's as useless as a broken pot, which is much more colorful than just saying 'broken'!
