Definition of Odds and sods

• Odds and sods is an English expression used to refer to an assortment of oddments. Some people have an "odds and sods" drawer to keep bits and pieces in. Sod is a minor rude word, originally a shortened form of sodomite.
• Odds and Sods is a compilation album by British rock band The Who.

In the autumn of 1973, while Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and Keith Moon were preparing for the Tommy film, John Entwistle was put in charge of compiling an album to counter the rampant bootlegging that occurred at The Who's concerts. He and the producer of his solo albums, John Alcock, compiled Odds & Sods from various tapes. Two LPs of material were collected, but only one was released. Ultimately, the album did not stop the want on bootlegs because of the unreleased material and because many of the album's songs were already heavily bootlegged.
