   note: the great quantity of shoddy goods furnished as army
         supplies in the late civil war in the united states
         gave wide currency to the word, and it came to be
         applied to persons who pretend to a higher position in
         society than that to which their breeding or worth
         entitles them; this term is now 1997 rarely used in
         that sense.
