2. Sulky or depressed.
3. Dour, gloomy or brooding.

   “There's something special about tidal estuaries, due to the abundance of wildlife and the ever-changing scenes as the water ebbs or rises. Throw in some moody skies and filtered sunlight, and the views can resemble a painting by Turner - only you don't have to go to the National Gallery to see this, it's brought to your seat on a train.”

4. Of dubious origin; counterfeit or stolen.

   “Both Garry and Wally were dressed in dodgy suits and looked ready to hit the streets of Peckham to sell moody goods.”
