SCUZZY
|||

Have you ever noticed how magazine ads for European products, especially perfume and clothes, display nothing but really scuzzy-looking men?

They're sort of skinny, underfed, and sad-looking. Like the toy-boys that
-- in Italy or France --
like to follow a female tourist on the street until she notices them, which I guess they're doing in the hope of being picked up for some romantic interludes in her hotelroom, for she is supposedly willing to pay them with expensive food, gifts, lots of cash, and other toy-boy goodies.

U2's Bono is the epitomy of scuzzyness. Even though he's Irish, wealthy, and much too not-skinny. He's all the rest, though. A natural user, the man can't even sing, and needs the help of Africa's poor, to maintain his fame.

I wonder if scuzziness is an internal psychological state that tends to manifests on its subject's external features?

Is there such a thing as a scuzzy woman?
I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
What do you call a skinny, underfed, sad-looking chick?
