You are adding to shoddy. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

How does it sound?
Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • Paid a mate’s mate to fix the boiler, and now it’s dripping on the floor. Proper shoddy job, absolute cowboy.
  • The new bus shelter at the corner of the high street is shoddy workmanship at its finest, two panels already loose after a fortnight, a roof that drips on the wrong side of the bench, and a council sign reminding us all to report vandalism by phone.
  • Bought a shoddy electric kettle from the discount store on the parade, the plastic split along the side after three weeks of normal use, and the warranty claim form asked for receipts that nobody under sixty has ever kept on purpose.
  • That market stall jacket looked alright till the zip came off in two days. Proper shoddy, that.
  • They've done a shoddy paint job on the flat. Streaks everywhere and they've somehow got gloss on the plug sockets.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
