[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


"(idiomatic) Cheaply manufactured; of poor or low quality, especially if made in East Asia." Unlike made in China, in Google Books I can't see any uses that are unambiguously not referring stuff actually literally manufactured in Korea. We need examples of this phrase used to describe (e.g.) European-made junk. I think the article creator just copied the China entry without thinking about whether this is really an English idiom.

I thought it is a real term describing items that are cheaply manufactured in East Asia in lieu of "made in China" and "made in Japan". --Soumya-8974 (he) talk contribs subpages 10:22, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
