An object or person with a scruffy, dishevelled, unkempt or cheap appearance. Tatty trainers and unwashed clothes complimented by greasy hair that hasn't been taken to a barber for a good few months, let alone seen shampoo would constitute a 'scratty' appearance. A cheap brand of clothes with little style could be described as 'scratty'. A tacky town or city could be branded 'scratty'.

Used to describe something your tall, skinny, awkward friend would do. Usually refers to things that would be stupid or dorky when done or used by the average person, but has a sort of ironic coolness when the right person (i.e., Scratz) gets involved.
We were at the Salvation Army store and we found a red bucket hat and red-lensed sunglasses - when Chris wore them, it was the scrattiest look ever.

Dude, we're dressing in costume for a movie release? That's so scratty.
