Crappy was a popular word when I was growing up and it was used in much the way you describe Scott as an adjective. It was only when I went away to college that I realized it was euphemistically being used in place of S**t/y which, believe it or not, was a word unfamiliar to me until then.

Reminds me of the U.K. use of "crap," similarly, to mean "ugly, cheap,
inadequate":

In the USA I think "crap" is generally a noun; "crappy" is the
adjective. And it's bit ruder, veering toward potty terminology.
