lousiness
State of awfulness
Lousiness is the quality or state of being lousy.
It can refer literally to infestation with lice, though this sense is rare.
More commonly it describes poor quality or wretchedness: the lousiness of the accommodations, the sheer lousiness of his attitude.
The word carries casual, emphatic contempt.
