Etymology
The word 'crum' has its origins in the early 19th century, derived from the obsolete verb 'crum,' which means to break into crumbs or fragments, reflecting something that is broken or of poor quality. The slang term 'crummy' first appeared in the 1930s in American English, often used to denote things that are dirty, shabby, or of low quality. The comparative form 'crummier' indicates a greater degree of that low quality, suggesting a deterioration or a more pronounced sense of discomfort or dissatisfaction. The adoption of these terms into everyday language reflects a cultural inclination towards informal and idiomatic expressions to convey emotional responses to various situations.
