Dog tucker is New Zealand slang for low-quality sheep meat that's only fit to be fed to dogs rather than served at a dinner table. It's a farming term that found its way into broader NZ vernacular, and it's also used figuratively to describe anything substandard or barely usable — not quite up to scratch, good enough only for the least discerning audience. If someone calls your work dog tucker, they're not paying you a compliment.
