How to use "Gimcrack" in context?
Gimcrack is a term used to refer to a piece of hardware or software that is either excessively simplistic or badly designed. In many cases, gimcrack devices are easy to use but ultimately fail because of their heavy reliance on simple, low-quality components.
The word "gimcrack" is derived from the British word "gimcrack," which means a whimsical or ridiculous object. The first recorded use of the word was in 18th century England.
