Schlock

Schlock is defined as an adjective describing a poorly made object. This can be due to mass production, poor materials, or maybe even miscare. The word actually has German, Hebrew, Sweedish, and Yiddish origins. Originally it was stemmed from a German word meaning hit or blow which turned into being used as a word describing damaged merchandise. Today this word is not used commonly in the United States. It can only be heard in Jewish prominent areas including New York.
