mop water

Dirty bucket liquid

Mop water is the dirty water left after mopping a floor—grimy, gray, and unfit for anything but disposal.

The term appears in colorful insults about weak or terrible coffee: This coffee tastes like mop water.

Anything described as mop water is unappetizingly diluted or contaminated.
