Definitions

Bad in the cheap-and-nasty sense — tacky, vile, beneath you. You'd call a grim outfit, a dingy bar or a dud night 'cods.' It's the verdict you hand down when something fails the taste test entirely. Sits in the same family as the mainstream British 'naff,' though 'cod' leans more towards genuinely vile than merely drab.
“Have you seen the state of that frock? Absolutely cods.”
