What a shame. I was super excited to send money to this grifter and show off how much of a patriot I am. And it’s fake gold, which everyone knows is super classy.

    I don’t speak a dialect of English that uses that word but context clues tell me “tatty” means “the shittiest barely functional one electron away from being a brick phone fractions of a penny can buy”.

      When I’ve heard “tatty,” it’s been short for “tattered.” Like “threadbare.” However, as you said, from context I assume that’s not what’s meant here.
