filthy; grimy; disgusting-looking
Stronger and more emotive than 汚い — describes something so dirty or unkempt that it looks repellent. The らしい suffix adds a "gives off a ... impression" nuance.

汚らしい食べ方は周りの人を不快にさせる。
Eating in a disgusting way makes those around you uncomfortable.
An intensified, more emotional form of 汚い (dirty). The らしい here means "looking/seeming," so 汚らしい stresses a repellent, unclean impression rather than mere dirtiness.
