My summer was pretty lousy.
From this sentence, lousy means very bad, right?
Thank you. :)

You are correct. Nowadays, "lousy" almost never refers to actual lice. In your sentence, "pretty" is a mostly colloquial American term meaning "rather".

Lousy generally is used to mean bad. You will occasionally encounter the phrase "lousy with sth".
That means there is a lot of something (usually bad), like an infestation.
Ex: "The time I visited, Prague was lousy with drunken tourists."
