    I wonder if Lawslop is gonna become a mainstream expression. Anyone got a better term?

      i hope that someone can come up with something catchier than "thing-slop" or "slop-thing". the word has become basically meaningless from overuse.

        I love the slop word, to me it means effortless, average.

        People confuse slop with "bad", but slop isn't bad per se, it only becomes bad when real effort was required.

          Right. Pigs enjoy eating their slop. It’s not bad from their point of view.

            Pig would much rather not eat slop. They are very intelligent animals.

              They most certainly will. You should see them go after a loaf of white bread, stale cinnamon rolls, etc.
