耷濕 means shabby; simple and crude. "This term is used in Cantonese, not Mandarin/Standard written Chinese." Wiktionary says the same thing.

But means "big ear" (noun) or "droop" (verb). means "damp". Neither means "simple, crude, shabby". Then where does this meaning stem from?

Googling "wet droop" showed me this picture of "drooping wet tree leaves on a rainy morning". Is this germane?

The long version is 頭耷耷,眼濕濕。

"drooping head, wet eyes" means that you are in a low mood.
