How to use "Hodgepodge" in context?
Hodginess is the general feeling of unfinished or haphazardly assembled work. It often refers to a messy or unkempt appearance. The word is derived from the Dutch word "hodgepodge", which means a mixture of different things, not necessarily cosmetically appealing. Historically, hodginess has been associated with poverty, because it is often the case that people who are poor are not able to afford to keep their homes neat and tidy. Today, however, hodginess can also be seen as a sign of creative and independent thought.
