crummy

Barely worth anything

Crummy means of poor quality, unpleasant, or worthless: a crummy apartment, crummy weather, I feel crummy about what happened.

The word is informal and mildly dismissive rather than harsh.

It can describe physical discomfort: I woke up feeling crummy.

Also spelled crumby, though this spelling is less common.
