pap

Bland baby food

Pap is soft, bland food suitable for infants or invalids—mashed or semi-liquid, requiring no chewing.

By extension, pap describes any content lacking substance or intellectual challenge: The network serves up nothing but pap.

In anatomy, pap is an archaic or dialectal word for nipple or teat, surviving mainly in Pap smear (named for Dr.

Papanicolaou).
