Recently, in conversation, a friend, who is a "millennial", said, "That's really janky!"
"That's a new word for me; is it slang?", I asked.
"I don't think so; I've used it for a long time."
Oxford Dictionary: janky: of extremely poor or unreliable quality. Informal. Unknown origin. First usage from the 1990s.
The Urban Dictionary: janky: inferior quality; held in low social regard; old and dilapidated; refers almost exclusively to inanimate objects, not to people.
