In the days of Hamlet there definitely was. How things are now-a-days I'm really not up on.
Marcellus says that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark while Hamlet leaves to meet the ghost dragging the dead body of Polonius with him.

It was a rotten way to end what had been a rotten day. The fruit was rotten. The word rotten can be used as an adjective or an adverb.
