SLIMSY
: flimsy, frail
Slimsy is a blend of slim and flimsy. The word was first used in the mid-19th century and was at its peak of popularity in the early 20th.
Merriam-Webster:
“For one thing, she’ll have to make Daisy some clothes first, because Daisy hasn’t got much to wear except what she’s got on…. Just about all she’s got to her name is that little slimsy gingham jumper she’s wearing.” — Erskine Caldwell, A Woman in the House, 1936
“With Nebraska going out in the quarterfinals against Michigan—leaving the Cornhuskers with a slimsy resume nearly devoid of high-end wins—the Big Ten is poised to produce only four tournament teams for the first time since 2008.” — Patrick Stevens, The Chicago Tribune, 5 Mar. 2018
