: you are confusing worn-out and well-worn; well-worn shoes = razgažene cipele worn-out = ofucane cipele // ofucani slogan = sav je izkrzan, raspada se od silne upotrebe // nošeno odelo = izdrpano odelo svo u fronclama? mislim da ima razlike u gradaciji..

Paul Tsongas -- a former U.S. senator from Massachusetts who has a reasonable chance to win the New Hampshire primary -- is a far more plausible presidential candidate; but he receives much less media attention than does the cross-burner from Louisiana. But Tsongas and other Democratic aspirants who also have to scrape for press coverage are too responsible to stoop to the shabby words and phrases that bring David Duke his ample notoriety.

: "too responsible to stoop to..." "shabby" u politici je više u smislu niskosti, jeftine demagogije i sl. " shabby words" ne moraju biti "ofucane od silne upotrebe", naprotiv mnogi političari znaju da budu vrlo originalni kada smišljaju niskosti...

Ne bih rekla da ima veze sa niskostima, značenje je upravo "1. In poor condition through long use or lack of care.". :-)

shopworn
Trite, hackneyed, and shopworn imply over familiarity resulting from overuse or repetition; the terms often suggest reduction of something once forceful to an empty formula or cliché: a trite saying; a soap opera with a hackneyed plot; shopworn slogans.
