An unattractive girl, who through a good dress sense and the proficient application of make up can appear beautifal to a drunken man.

Someone who (if nature had their way) would look ugly. But, as a result of using various methods (cosmetics, diet etc) they manage to achieve an average or above on a scale of attractiveness.
Way to Spot a Polished Turd:
1. Give the person a score out of 10 for attractiveness.
2. Then, work out their beauty product score by looking in their medicine cabinet and counting how many beauty products they have, divide that number by 3 (rounding to the closest whole number).
3. Take their beauty product score away from their score out of 10 for attractiveness.
If the person scores below 5, they are officially a polished turd.
Example of a Polished Turd:
Tori Spelling when she starred in, the 2003 made-for-TV film, 'A Christmas Carol' and looked relatively OK.
Joe: Look at, the twins, Kate and Fiona.
Kyle: Apparently, they are identical. Which is funny since Fiona's hot and Kate isn't.
Joe: Yeah, Fiona's always applying make-up and bursting spots. Looking at Kate, who's not bothered by how she looks, goes to show Fiona is a big polished turd.

A old, beat down, overall crappy truck, modified with big rims and lifts to look cool despite to overall lackluster look of the rest of the vehicle, most commonly drive by highschool students in the south.
Evans 04’ Silverado is a real nice Polished Turd
A girl you take out on a date who is normally very ugly, but when she dresses up and wears make-up she looks OK at best.
I went on a movie date with a polished turd last Friday.

Wasting a lot of time working on something that is too broken or worthless to fix.
I was going to repair the TV I found while dumpster diving but I was just Polishing a Turd.

To attempt to put a positive spin or light on something that is clearly shit.
Polish the turd all you want- that movie still sucks.

To fix, repair, repaint, shine or do other things to something that isn't worthy - but you have to do it for one reason or another. Because the basic fact is no matter what you do to a turd - polish it, paint it, give it bling - it's still a turd, and there is nothing you can do about that underlying fact.
This is often encountered for people who restore antiques, or who work in older buildings or on old machines. It may not be practical to replace a piece of crap, and polishing a turd may be all you can do.
Polishing A Turd is different from nigger-rigging because nigger-rigging is just to get something operational with little regard to how it looks or runs in the long term. Polishing A Turd involves making something look and operate as best as it can, although both may be major problems because it was a piece of crap to begin with. A Rolls Royce can be nigger-rigged, but you would not call it polishing a turd (unless it is a real ghetto cruiser). Putting new tires on a Yugo and filling its gas tank is polishing a turd.
The 1942 Philco record changers were so bad, restoring them is only polishing a turd.
My friend is polishing a turd - he's rebuilding the engine in his 1976 Vega.
The elevator was constantly breaking down in the last place I worked. It was old and beat up, and repairs were no better than polishing a turd.
"You're just polishing a turd fixing that Pinto."
"More like jack up the horn and stick a car under it!"
