The word “slop” is mutating so fast I’m having serious trouble keeping up with what it means from day to day. I saw a movie referred to as “quality slop” to mean something like “oscar bait” and I’ve fully given up on trying to make sense of it.

That may have been a joke. But if somebody did mean it seriously, like they were actually upset, one, I would make fun of them, and two, I would think that what they think they’re gesturing at is a kind of insincerity, or inauthenticness, by calling the “quality” film factory-made. How does that make sense… It’s sort of like how conservatives think that woke lefties only pretend to care about civil rights as a rhetorical tactic to use against them.

If you’re not getting it, you’re simply not slopping hard enough. Slop is streets ahead in terms of terms.
