cat

As used in Ireland, means terrible or bad: a shameful effort. Can be intensified to cat-melodeon.

"Jesus that play was cat. Your man got killed with a poisoned fencing foil! Willie's obviously lost his touch."

"I have to agree with you there boy, that play was cat melodeon. It wasn't a patch on Titus Andronicus."
