Examples:
"Hey, how's it going my - good God mate, this place is a right kip!"

"I'd inivite you back but my place is a total kip right now." - Often heard on the streets of Dublin at 3am on a Saturday night.

A word of common use in Ireland with regard to both meanings. (Now, I'm off to have a bit of a kip in my no good kip of a bedroom!)
