A word to describe something that is generally cheap or poor. Derived from the word "Government", which is notorious for giving handouts to poorer folks for things such as food, housing, healthcare, etc. Shortened to "Gubment" due to the way both the black and the back country redneck community pronounce the word "Government". Generally used to describe items used by very low class people.
