Shoddy \Shod"dy\, n. [Perhaps fr. {Shed}, v. t.; as meaning
originally, waste stuff shedor thrown off.]
1. A fibrous material obtained by ``deviling,'' or tearing
into fibers, refuse woolen goods, old stockings, rags,
druggets, etc. See {Mungo}.
2. A fabric of inferior quality made of, or containing a
large amount of, shoddy.
Note: The great quantity of shoddy goods furnished as army
supplies in the late Civil War in the United States
gave wide currency to the word, and it came to be
applied to persons who pretend to a higher position in
society than that to which their breeding or worth
entitles them.
