Yeah, Manky is a class expression!
As you say, it means a bit nasty, can be applied to something smelly and dirty or more generally to something tatty and in general disrepair!
LOL, at the moment my Dao is a bit 'manky'!

Another fav of mine is 'Rank' meaning slightly foul or disgusting.
It always made me smile as I worked for the Rank Organisation for 7 years!

PS: no idea about the dao, but the others' comments sound convincing. I only note that the fuller appears routed out, as you can see the wobble from the rotating bit.
