Filthy Quarters is a term used to describe a living space that is in a state of extreme disrepair. The term is made up of three words: STIES (5 letters), STY (3 letters), and RATHOLE (7 letters). Sties are small, smelly, and often overcrowded dwellings, usually found in urban areas. A STY is a pigpen, and the term is used to describe a living space that is similarly dirty and cramped. A RATHOLE is a slang term for a run-down, dilapidated, and often dangerous dwelling. Together, these three words form the term Filthy Quarters, which is used to describe a living space that is in a state of extreme disrepair.
