Manky is the feeling you get when you wake up after having slept in your clothes and shoes and you didn't brush your teeth the night before. If you've read any books by Terry Pratchett, the character Corporal Nobby Nobbs, if he was an adjective, would be manky. I don't think I can define it any better than that.
