daddocky
A wonderful piece of English dialect describing wood that has gone soft and rotten — the kind that crumbles under a firm boot rather than splitting cleanly.
Definitions
A wonderful piece of English dialect describing wood that has gone soft and rotten — the kind that crumbles under a firm boot rather than splitting cleanly. By extension it also means anything inferior, weak, or lacking substance: a daddocky excuse, a daddocky performance. The word has a satisfyingly squelchy quality that suits its meaning perfectly.
Half the fence posts turned out to be completely daddocky and snapped the moment we leaned on them.
