I love this word.
dreck noun
1. excrement; dung
2. worthless trash; junk
This comes from a yiddish word, "drek", of the same meaning. I love the way it sounds. Dreck. It's short. It's ugly. It's abrupt. It's perfect.
I don't use this word very often, because it feels like such a strong word to me.
"That book was dreck."
"The food there is dreck."
"Don't listen to that dreck."
Best said with an expression of disgust and served ice cold, or withering.
