In the 1950s, San Diego California, I remember the word used to describe an automobile, usually in modified (hot-rod) condition and if in good shape, it would be a "Cherry Kemp".
There was a lot about the obsolete use of the word referring to a mixture of liquors. The most often use is in writings of the 16th - 18th century meaning: senseless, stupid or exaggerated talk or writing; nonsense.
The music was lovely, but the sermon was balderdash.
