smutty

Full of filth

Smutty means obscene or indecent, typically in a mildly titillating rather than hardcore way: smutty jokes, a smutty magazine.

The word carries a tone of mild disapproval or amusement rather than genuine shock.

Smutty also describes something blackened with soot or covered in smut—a plant disease that leaves dark powdery spores on crops.
