Is it okay if I say that a old comb with lots of teeth missing is "huecoso" or would that sound stupid? The word isn't in my S/E dictionary, but I did find it a couple of places online.

Thanks. My S/E dictionary is a little shy on adjectives and adverbs and using multi-word descriptions really breaks the flow.
