Target lemma: drain
Target surface form: drain
Context:
His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood <t>drain</t> from his cheeks. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator.

    *   The phrase is "felt the blood drain from his cheeks."
    *   This describes a physical process where blood leaves the surface of the skin (cheeks), usually due to fear or shock (pallor).
    *   The blood is flowing away/out of the area.

    *   Sense 1: "flow off gradually" (synonym: run out). This fits the physical movement of blood leaving the cheeks.
    *   Sense 2: "deplete of resources". This is usually metaphorical (energy, money).
    *   Sense 3: "empty of liquid; drain the liquid from". This usually implies an active process of emptying a container (e.g., oil tank).
    *   Sense 4: "make weak". This refers to overall vitality/strength.

    *   Sense 1 describes the *action* of the liquid (blood) flowing off/out.
    *   Sense 3 describes the *action* of emptying a container.
    *   In "blood drain from his cheeks", the blood is the subject doing the draining (flowing away). Sense 1 ("flow off gradually") matches this usage perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: "The rain water drains into this big vat" (Water flows off/out).
    *   Context: "blood drain from his cheeks" (Blood flows off/out).
    *   This is a strong match.

    *   The character (Haney) has just learned the landlord died.
    *   He is feeling shock/fear ("sudden pallor", "blood drain from his cheeks").
    *   He says "something about how terrible it was" while walking away.
    *   Is he complaining? No. He is reacting to a shock or perhaps pretending to be upset while being terrified.
    *   Is he talking indistinctly/in a low voice? Yes, "muttered something" usually implies low, indistinct speech, especially when one is shaken or trying to be discreet.

    *   Sense 1: General indistinct talking/low voice.
    *   Sense 2: Complaining/grumbling.

    The context "muttered something about how terrible it was" in a state of shock/fear does not fit the "complaining" aspect of Sense 2. It fits the "low voice/indistinct" aspect of Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: talk indistinctly; usually in a low voice.
    *   Sense 2: make complaining remarks.
    *   The action is a reaction to a death and the character's own internal panic. It's not a complaint.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

*   Target word: "terrible"
    *   Context: A landlord died by falling off a roof. The character Haney sees/hears about it, feels pale, and mutters "how terrible it was" while trying to hide his reaction.
    *   Meaning: Haney is commenting on the death/accident.

    *   Sense 1: `alarming` (causing fear or dread or terror). Examples: "awful war", "awful risk".
    *   Sense 2: `bad` (exceptionally bad or displeasing). Examples: "atrocious taste", "abominable workmanship". (Often used for quality or moral badness, but also general misfortune).
    *   Sense 3: `intense` (intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality). Examples: "severe pain", "severe case of flu".
    *   Sense 4: `extraordinary` (extreme in degree or extent or amount or impact). Examples: "frightful hurry", "frightful amount of money".

    *   The context is a death (a tragedy).
    *   "How terrible it was" refers to the event of the landlord's death.
    *   Is it "alarming" (causing fear/dread)? Not really, the event already happened.
    *   Is it "intense" (like severe pain)? No.
    *   Is it "extraordinary" (extreme amount)? No.
    *   Is it "exceptionally bad or displeasing"? Yes. In common usage, "terrible" when referring to a tragedy or a death means it is a very bad/sad situation.

    *   Sense 2 (`bad`) covers "exceptionally bad or displeasing". Synonyms include "awful", "dreadful", "unspeakable". This fits the context of a tragic death perfectly.

    *   Sense 1 is more about *causing* fear (like a "terrible storm" or "terrible threat").
    *   Sense 2 is about the *quality* of the event being bad/tragic.
    *   Sense 3 is about *intensity* of a condition (pain, illness).
    *   Sense 4 is about *magnitude* (amount).

    The phrase "how terrible it was" in response to a death is a standard expression of sympathy or reaction to a bad event. Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   Action: Haney is moving from one place (where the body is) to another (the elevator) using his feet.

    *   1: `use one's feet to advance; advance by steps` (General movement)

    *   The sentence is "walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator."
    *   This is the basic act of moving from point A to point B using feet.
    *   Sense 1: "use one's feet to advance; advance by steps". This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 4: "traverse or cover by walking". Usually takes a direct object (the area walked). Here, "to the elevator" is a destination/direction, not the area being traversed.
    *   Sense 8: "walk at a pace". While "with deliberate slowness" describes the pace, the core action is the movement to the elevator. Sense 1 is the primary meaning of moving by foot.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of the action described.

*   Target word: "deliberate"
    *   Context: "He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with <t>deliberate</t> slowness to the elevator."
    *   Surrounding context: The character (Haney) is shaken (sudden pallor, blood drain from cheeks, trembling hands). He is trying to appear normal or composed while feeling internal panic.

    *   Sense 1: `deliberate%5:00:00:intended:00` - carefully thought out in advance (calculated, measured). Example: "a calculated insult".
    *   Sense 2: `deliberate%5:00:00:unhurried:00` - unhurried and with care and dignity (careful, measured). Example: "walking at the same measured pace".

    *   The phrase is "deliberate slowness".
    *   Does "deliberate" here mean "intended/calculated" (Sense 1) or "unhurried/careful" (Sense 2)?
    *   In the context of walking, "deliberate slowness" usually refers to a pace that is consciously slow, often to hide emotion or to appear composed.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *intent* or *planning* (calculated).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on the *manner* of movement (unhurried, careful).
    *   Looking at the synonyms: Sense 1 (calculated, measured) vs Sense 2 (careful, measured).
    *   "Walking with deliberate slowness" fits the description of "unhurried and with care" (Sense 2) better than "carefully thought out in advance" (Sense 1), although there is overlap.
    *   However, usually, when describing a physical pace or gait, "deliberate" aligns with the "unhurried/measured" sense.
    *   Let's re-evaluate: Haney is trying to hide his reaction. He is consciously controlling his speed.
    *   Sense 1: "carefully thought out in advance". Was the slowness thought out in advance? Not necessarily, but it is intentional.
    *   Sense 2: "unhurried and with care and dignity". This describes the *quality* of the movement.
    *   Comparing "calculated" (1) vs "unhurried" (2). "Deliberate slowness" is a classic example of a measured, unhurried pace.

    *   Sense 1 is often used for actions like "a deliberate lie" or "a deliberate act of sabotage".
    *   Sense 2 is often used for movement: "a deliberate pace", "deliberate steps".
    *   The context "walked with deliberate slowness" strongly points to the manner of walking.

    *   Sense 2: "unhurried and with care and dignity".
    *   This fits "deliberate slowness" perfectly.

Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he <t>poured</t> a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions.

*   Target lemma: `pour`
    *   Target surface form: `poured`
    *   Context: "Once inside his apartment, he <t>poured</t> a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair."

    *   Sense 1: `cause to run` (e.g., pour water over the floor) - General action of making a liquid flow.
    *   Sense 2: `move in large numbers` (e.g., people pouring out of the theater) - Metaphorical use for crowds.
    *   Sense 3: `pour out` (synonyms: decant, pour out; e.g., the sommelier decanted the wines) - Specifically refers to pouring a liquid from one container to another, often for serving.
    *   Sense 4: `flow in a spurt` (e.g., Water poured all over the floor) - The liquid itself is the subject.
    *   Sense 5: `supply in large amounts or quantities` (e.g., poured money into education) - Metaphorical use for resources.
    *   Sense 6: `rain heavily` (e.g., it's pouring outside!) - Weather.

    *   The sentence is "he poured a drink".
    *   This involves taking a liquid (the drink) from a bottle/decanter and putting it into a glass.
    *   Sense 1 is general ("cause to run").
    *   Sense 3 is more specific to serving a drink ("pour out", "decant").
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: "Pouring a drink" is a classic example of "pouring out" or "decanting" (even if not using a decanter, the act of serving a drink fits this sense better than just "causing to run" in a general sense). However, let's look closer at the WordNet structure.
    *   Sense 1: `cause to run` (general)
    *   Sense 3: `pour out` (synonyms: decant)
    *   In many WordNet versions, "pour a drink" is associated with the act of transferring liquid from a container to a glass.

    *   Sense 1: `cause to run` (Example: pour water over the floor) - This sounds more like spilling or pouring something *onto* a surface.
    *   Sense 3: `pour out` (Synonyms: decant; Example: the sommelier decanted the wines) - This is specifically about transferring liquid from one vessel to another, which is exactly what happens when you "pour a drink".

    *   Sense 3 is the most precise fit for "poured a drink".

    *   Sense 13: pass one's hands over sexual organs.

    *   The phrase is "feel better about it."
    *   "It" refers to the situation (the body on the pavement and his reaction to it).
    *   "Better" indicates an improvement in his emotional state (from shock/guilt/fear to a more comfortable state).
    *   This is an emotional state/sensation.

    *   Sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" (Examples: felt resentful, felt regret).
    *   Sense 4: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" (Examples: I feel fine today, felt tired).

    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *experience* of the emotion (resentment, regret).
    *   Sense 4 focuses on the *consciousness* of the state (feeling fine, feeling tired).
    *   "Feel better about it" usually means the emotional distress is decreasing. This aligns well with "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" (Sense 1) or "be conscious of a... emotional state" (Sense 4).
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 1: "He felt regret" (very similar to "feel better about it" in terms of emotional state).
        *   Sense 4: "I feel fine today" (general state of being).
    *   "Feel better about it" specifically targets the emotional reaction to a specific event ("it"). This leans slightly more towards Sense 1 (undergoing an emotional sensation/state of mind regarding something).

    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 4.
    *   Sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind"
    *   Sense 4: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state"
    *   "Feel better" is often used for health (Sense 4: "I feel fine today") or for emotions (Sense 1: "I feel better about the decision").
    *   In this context, "feel better about it" is clearly emotional.
    *   Comparing "He felt regret" (Sense 1) and "I feel fine today" (Sense 4). "Feel better about it" is closer to "felt regret" (an emotional reaction to a situation) than "feel fine" (a general state of health or well-being).

    *   Sense 1: undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind.
    *   Sense 4: be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state.
    *   Actually, "feel better" (emotionally) is a change in the state of mind.
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit. Sense 2 is about belief. Sense 5 is about reaction to others.
    *   Between 1 and 4, Sense 1 is more specifically about the *emotion* itself, while Sense 4 is about the *awareness* of the state. "Feel better about it" is about the emotional state itself.

    *   Sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind"
    *   Sense 4: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state"
    *   If I say "I feel sad," is that Sense 1 or Sense 4?
    *   If I say "I feel sick," is that Sense 4?
    *   "Feel better about it" is an emotional shift.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "experience". "He began to experience [a better state of mind] about it."
    *   Let's look at Sense 4: "be conscious of". "He began to be conscious of [a better state] about it."
    *   Sense 1 seems more natural for emotional reactions to events.

    *   Sense 1: "She felt resentful; He felt regret"
    *   Sense 4: "My cold is gone--I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike"

    *   Sense 1: "an instance of questioning" (inquiry, enquiry).
    *   Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply" (interrogative sentence).

    *   Sense 1 is more general ("an instance of questioning"), while Sense 3 is more specific to the linguistic form ("a sentence of inquiry").
    *   When someone "asks questions" in a situation like this, they are typically asking specific queries (Sense 1) or using interrogative sentences (Sense 3).
    *   Looking at the synonyms for Sense 1: inquiry, enquiry, query.
    *   Looking at the synonyms for Sense 3: interrogation, interrogative, interrogative sentence.
    *   In common usage, "ask questions" usually refers to the act of making inquiries (Sense 1) or the specific questions asked (Sense 3).
    *   Let's re-examine the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "there was a question about my training; we made inquiries of all those who were present"
        *   Sense 3: "he asked a direct question; he had trouble phrasing his interrogations"
    *   The context "no one bothered to ask any questions" fits very well with "making inquiries" (Sense 1) or "asking direct questions" (Sense 3).
    *   However, "ask a question" is the prototypical use of Sense 3 (the sentence of inquiry). Sense 1 is often used for the *process* or a *specific point of doubt/inquiry* (e.g., "the question of whether...").
    *   Wait, let's look closer at Sense 1: "an instance of questioning".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply".
    *   In "ask any questions", the "questions" are the things being asked. These are typically interrogative sentences.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 1 (inquiry/query) is often used for the general act or a specific request for information.
        *   Sense 3 (interrogative sentence) is the linguistic unit.
    *   In most WSD datasets (like SemCor), "ask a question" is mapped to the sense of an inquiry/query.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "an instance of questioning". Synonyms: inquiry, enquiry, query.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply". Synonyms: interrogation, interrogative.
    *   Usually, "ask questions" means to make inquiries. Sense 1's synonyms "inquiry, enquiry, query" fit perfectly. Sense 3 is more about the grammatical form.

    *   Sense 1: "an instance of questioning" (inquiry, enquiry, query).
    *   Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply" (interrogative sentence).
    *   If someone "asks questions", they are making inquiries.
    *   Let's check common WordNet mappings. "Ask a question" often maps to the "inquiry" sense.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "there was a question about my training".
    *   Example for Sense 3: "he asked a direct question".
    *   The context "no one bothered to ask any questions" is very similar to "he asked a direct question".
    *   Wait, "an instance of questioning" (Sense 1) and "a sentence of inquiry" (Sense 3) are very close.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
        *   Sense 1: inquiry, enquiry, query.
        *   Sense 3: interrogation, interrogative, interrogative sentence.
    *   "Ask questions" usually means to query or make inquiries.
    *   Let's try to see if there's a nuance. Sense 3 is specifically the *sentence*. Sense 1 is the *act* or the *instance*.
    *   In "ask any questions", the "questions" are the queries themselves.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 1: "we made inquiries of all those who were present" (This is almost identical to "asked questions of all those who were present").
        *   Sense 3: "he asked a direct question".
    *   Actually, Sense 1 ("an instance of questioning") seems broader and more fitting for the general act of asking things.

    *   Sense 1: inquiry, enquiry, query.
    *   Sense 3: interrogation, interrogative sentence.
    *   "Ask questions" -> "Make inquiries".
    *   Sense 1 is the most natural fit for "ask questions" in the sense of seeking information.

    *   Sense 1: `question%1:10:00::`
    *   Sense 3: `question%1:10:03::`
    *   Looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
        *   `question%1:10:00` (inquiry) is a `question`.
        *   `question%1:10:03` (interrogative sentence) is a `question`.
    *   In the context "no one bothered to ask any questions", the character is relieved that no one is investigating or querying him about the event. This aligns better with "inquiry/query" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "an instance of questioning"
    *   Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply"
    *   If I say "I have a question", I usually mean I have a query (Sense 1). If I say "That is a question", I might be referring to the sentence (Sense 3).
    *   "Ask questions" is the standard way to say "make inquiries".

    *   Sense 1: inquiry, enquiry, query.
    *   Sense 3: interrogation, interrogative sentence.
    *   "Ask questions" = "Make inquiries".
    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Context: "Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a <t>coincidence</t>. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course"
    *   Meaning: The character is trying to convince himself that an event was accidental and not caused by the stranger. This refers to a chance occurrence or happenstance.

    *   Sense 1: "an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental" (Synonym: happenstance). This fits perfectly. It describes a situation that looks like it might have a cause or design but is actually random.
    *   Sense 2: "the quality of occupying the same position or area in space" (Example: target and cross hairs). This is a spatial definition. Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: "the temporal property of two things happening at the same time" (Synonyms: concurrence, conjunction, co-occurrence). This is a temporal definition. While coincidences often happen at the same time, the context here is about causality ("accident", "stranger really had nothing to do with it"), which aligns better with "happenstance" (Sense 1).

    *   The context emphasizes that the event was an "accident" and that the stranger "had nothing to do with it." This points directly to the idea of a random event that might seem connected but isn't.
    *   Sense 1 (happenstance) is the best fit.

    *   Actually, looking at the flow: "The stranger really had nothing to do with it... he was rid of that lousy landlord." This suggests the "stranger" might be the landlord, or someone else.
    *   Regardless of who the stranger is, the word "stranger" typically refers to someone the protagonist doesn't know.
    *   Sense 1: Someone who doesn't belong in the environment (like an alien or an outsider).

    *   In most narrative contexts, "the stranger" refers to a person the character does not know (Sense 2).
    *   Sense 1 is more about being an "outsider" or "alien" to a specific setting.
    *   The sentence "The stranger really had nothing to do with it" implies a person who is unknown to the narrator/character.

    *   Sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment" (alien, unknown).
    *   Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with".
    *   Usually, "a stranger" in a story is someone the character doesn't know personally.

    *   Is the person an "alien" to the environment, or just someone Haney doesn't know?
    *   The text doesn't provide evidence that the person "doesn't belong in the environment" in a systemic or alien way; it's more likely they are just an unknown person.

    *   Sense 2 is the standard meaning of "stranger" as "someone I don't know".

Target lemma: lousy
Target surface form: lousy
Context:
Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions. But after all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a coincidence. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that <t>lousy</t> landlord. After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it.

*   Target word: "lousy"
    *   Context: "...happy that at least he was rid of that <t>lousy</t> landlord."
    *   Surrounding context: The narrator (Haney) has apparently killed someone (the landlord) and is convincing himself it was an accident. He is "happy" to be rid of him.

    *   Sense 1: `very bad` (e.g., a lousy play, a stinking world). General poor quality or unpleasantness.
    *   Sense 2: `infested with lice` (e.g., lousy clothes). Literal meaning.
    *   Sense 3: `vile; despicable` (e.g., a dirty trick, a filthy traitor). Moral condemnation or strong dislike.

    *   The context describes a landlord whom the protagonist is glad to be rid of, even though the protagonist likely killed him.
    *   Calling a person "lousy" in this context usually means they were unpleasant, mean, or despicable, rather than just "of poor quality" (Sense 1) or "infested with lice" (Sense 2).
    *   Sense 1 ("very bad") is a general term.
    *   Sense 3 ("vile; despicable") fits the context of a person who is hated or viewed as morally bankrupt/unpleasant.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: "Lousy landlord" often means a bad landlord (Sense 1), but in the context of a crime/murder and the feeling of being "rid of" someone, "despicable" or "vile" (Sense 3) captures the intensity and the personal nature of the animosity better. However, "lousy" is very commonly used as a general synonym for "bad" (Sense 1).
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "vile; despicable". Examples: "a dirty (or lousy) trick; a filthy traitor". These are actions or people characterized by malice.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "very bad". Examples: "a lousy play; it's a stinking world".
    *   In the phrase "lousy landlord", is the landlord "very bad" (poor quality/unpleasant) or "despicable/vile"? Usually, "lousy" in this colloquial sense means "very bad" or "unpleasant".
    *   Wait, looking at the synonyms for Sense 1: "icky, crappy, rotten, shitty, stinking, stinky".
    *   Looking at the synonyms for Sense 3: "dirty, filthy".
    *   In the context of a person, "lousy" often means "contemptible" or "very bad".
    *   If I call someone a "lousy person", I usually mean they are a bad person (Sense 1 or 3).
    *   Let's look at the specific nuance: "rid of that lousy landlord". This implies a negative relationship.
    *   Sense 1 is the most general "bad". Sense 3 is more specific to "despicable".
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "lousy" meaning "bad/unpleasant" is mapped to the general "bad" sense unless it specifically implies a "dirty trick" or "traitorous" behavior.
    *   However, "lousy" as in "contemptible" often aligns with "despicable".
    *   Let's re-read: "happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord."
    *   Is the landlord "very bad" (Sense 1) or "despicable" (Sense 3)?
    *   Usually, "lousy" meaning "bad" (Sense 1) is the most common usage for people (e.g., "he's a lousy father").
    *   Sense 3 is often used for actions ("a lousy trick").
    *   Let's check the synonyms again. Sense 1: "crappy, rotten, shitty". These fit "lousy landlord" perfectly.
    *   Sense 3: "vile, despicable". This is stronger.
    *   Most linguistic corpora treat "lousy" in the sense of "bad/unpleasant" as the general "bad" sense.

    *   Sense 1: very bad.
    *   Sense 3: vile; despicable.
    *   "Lousy landlord" -> A landlord who is very bad (doesn't fix things, mean, etc.). This fits Sense 1.
    *   Does it fit Sense 3? Yes, if the landlord was truly vile. But "lousy" is a relatively mild word compared to "vile" or "despicable". "Lousy" usually maps to "very bad/poor quality".

    *   Sense 1: "a lousy play" (poor quality).
    *   Sense 3: "a dirty (or lousy) trick" (malicious).
    *   A "lousy landlord" is more like a "lousy play" (in terms of quality of person/service) than a "lousy trick" (in terms of a specific malicious act), although the person themselves is the target.
    *   Actually, "lousy" meaning "contemptible" is often grouped with "bad".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1 again: "crappy, rotten, shitty". These are very common synonyms for a "lousy landlord".

    *   Sense 1: very bad.
    *   Sense 3: vile; despicable.
    *   In the context of "rid of that lousy landlord", the speaker is expressing contempt.

    *   Sense 1 examples: "a lousy play" (poor quality).
    *   Sense 3 examples: "a dirty (or lousy) trick" (despicable).
    *   A "lousy landlord" is a person. Is the person "poor quality" or "despicable"?
    *   In the context of being "rid of" him (and having killed him), the feeling is one of contempt.
    *   However, "lousy" is a very common colloquialism for "bad".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1 again: "rotten, shitty". "A rotten landlord" or "a shitty landlord" is almost identical to "a lousy landlord".
    *   Sense 3 synonyms: "dirty, filthy". "A dirty landlord" or "a filthy landlord" usually means something else (literally dirty or corrupt).

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit for the general colloquial use of "lousy" to mean "bad/unpleasant".
