slop

Trough's liquid contents

Slop is liquid waste or spilled mess—watery food, kitchen scraps fed to pigs, or any unappetizing semi-liquid substance.

The verb means to spill carelessly: Water slopped over the edge of the bucket.

Slop extends to anything carelessly made or of low quality: The movie was pure slop.

Slops, in the plural, are cheap ready-made clothing or a sailor's loose trousers.
