scabbiest
Covered in dried wounds
Scabbiest is the superlative of scabby—most covered with scabs or most resembling them.
Literally, it describes skin with the most healing wounds: the scabbiest knees in the schoolyard.
Figuratively, it means the most run-down, contemptible, or worthless: the scabbiest motel on the strip, the scabbiest excuse I've ever heard.
