  DEGENERATE, adj.  Less conspicuously admirable than one's ancestors. 
  The contemporaries of Homer were striking examples of degeneracy; it
  required ten of them to raise a rock or a riot that one of the heroes
  of the Trojan war could have raised with ease.  Homer never tires of
  sneering at "men who live in these degenerate days," which is perhaps
  why they suffered him to beg his bread -- a marked instance of
  returning good for evil, by the way, for if they had forbidden him he
  would certainly have starved.
