Hrunty - adj. - the gurgling, productive state of one's lungs at the end of a brutal chest cold. That point at which you can feel the fluid rattle of chest-phlegm at the end of every sentence as the last air is exhaled out of the lungs. e.g. "I'm feeling a little bit hrunty today." "She still sounds hrunty. Has she been following through with her antibiotics?" It's a sad state of affairs that I experience this phenomenon often enough to have already had a word in the bag for it. In fact, I've got such shitty lungs that I have a word for every state of lung disrepair, like the Inuit are supposed to have a hundred names for snow.
