It can turn out very useful in harsh undesirable situations. The closest friendly translation in English I could do was "full of crap". It matches along the lines of how you gave the definition of отстой as "residue". I think the iPhone as "absolutely full of crap" sometimes too. :) Thanks for introducing the interesting expression “полный отстой” today!

The only one who made the mistake was the idiot who drew the swastika. The naizis killed many Russians in world war three. . It was bad taste to draw something which favors the enemy.
