Brewer's: Rusty-Fusty

That odour and filth which accumulates on things and in places not used.

Then from the butchers we bought lamb and sheepe. Beer from the alehouse, and a broome to sweepe Our cottage, that for want of use was musty, And most extremely rusty-fusty dusty.

Taylor: Workes, ii. 24.
