filthy dirty

Covered in muck

Filthy dirty is an emphatic way of describing something extremely unclean or soiled, with filthy intensifying dirty rather than adding distinct meaning.

The phrase appears in casual speech when ordinary dirty feels inadequate: The kids came home filthy dirty after playing in the mud.

It can also describe morally corrupt behavior or obscene content, following the same intensifying pattern.
