Description:
'Slop' is a pejorative term in Common that refers to something being poorly or carelessly made. There is ample evidence that it is an early borrowing from English, sometimes written as 'slap', apparently based on solve speakers' pronunciations. The AXZ later canonised the word with the 'slop' pronunciation and spelling.

In a noun context, 'slop' refers to something that's poorly or carelessly made. It is particularly likely to be employed for something badly made with the aid of a computer.
Verb:
