Adj. {pronounced tan-jee rather than tang-i) Tangy is a word used to describe something that is really busted, dirty and trashy. However tangy is more than this. For a person to be described as tangy they must fit a variety of criteria. 1) they must be really ugly and busted. 2) they must be very slutty and trashy. 3) They must have a very bad attitude and act like a diva. Tangy is usually applied to a teenage girl from a trailer park, or an urban homosexual male. Tangy can also be used to describe a really low class motel/bar/neihborhood.
1)You see that 14 year old pregnant girl, smoking at the bus stop? She's acting like she's all of that. How tangy.

2) That tangy faggot was acting like such a diva. I was like "No miss thing, you ain't talking to me like that, you're wearing a polo with a popped collar like it's 2003."

3) That motel I stayed at was so tangy. It had holes burned in the wall and a viabrating bed.
