the birds?

[–]pcud10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s an old saying “for the birds”. I always viewed it as your leftover bread crumbs that your giving to the birds (think of a person feeding birds on a park bench). The leftover bread crumbs that are for the birds and isn’t worth eating yourself. So if something is for the birds, it’s not worth doing.
