Dirty
"Dutty" is the Jamaican Patois pronunciation of the English word "dirty." It is used both literally and figuratively, depending on the context. While it can refer to something physically unclean, it's often used more expressively to describe bad-minded behavior, immorality, or something/someone disgraceful.
