also: げてもの
noun
low-quality product; strange thing; odd combination
Refers to something of poor quality, bizarre, or a weird mix, often with a negative or dismissive tone. Can describe objects, food, or ideas.
この店はゲテモノばかり売っている。
This store sells nothing but low-quality junk.
彼の料理はいつもゲテモノだ。
His cooking is always a weird combination.
Kanji spelling is rare; the word is normally written in kana.
The origin is uncertain. It may be a compound of 下手 (heta, 'unskillful') and 物 (mono, 'thing'), but the reading ゲテ is irregular. The katakana spelling suggests a colloquial or slang origin.
