Skorlagad

Skorlagad is a Swedish adjective describing something that is damaged, worn, or showing signs of wear and tear due to use or age. It implies a condition where the item is not necessarily broken beyond repair, but its functionality or appearance is compromised. It can apply to both physical objects and abstract concepts, although it is more commonly used to describe physical objects. The term suggests that the damage is due to regular wear rather than a sudden accident. The degree of damage implied by "skorlagad" can vary; it may refer to minor scratches and blemishes, or it may suggest more significant wear that affects the object's performance. The word evokes a sense of something being used and loved, rather than simply neglected.
