Talk:rusty

Possible missing adjective sense

Chamber 1908 has "rough; obstinate", as in ride rusty, turn rusty. Can it mean this outside of those two phrases? Equinox ◑ 01:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Also in John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873): "rusty, cross, ill-tempered, morose; not able to go through life like a person of easy and “polished” manners". Equinox ◑ 12:58, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
