sloppy seconds
After another's turn
Sloppy seconds is crude slang for sexual intercourse with someone who has just had sex with another person, the implication being that the second partner gets a messier, less desirable experience.
The term extends to anything received after someone else has already used or rejected it: I always get sloppy seconds on the equipment.
Vulgar and dismissive.
