For the Birds

Worthless, not to be taken seriously, no good. For example, This conference is for the birds--let's leave now. This term has been said to allude to horse droppings from which birds would extract seeds. This seemingly fanciful theory is borne out by a more vulgar version of this idiom, shit for the birds. [Slang; first half of 1900s]
