"slop" Definition

  1. a policeman. At first back slang, but now modified for general use.
  2. cheap, or ready-made, as applied to clothing, is generally supposed to be a modern appropriation; but it was used in this sense in 1691, by Maydman, in his _Naval Speculations_; and by Chaucer two centuries before that. SLOPS properly signify sailors’ working clothes, which are of a very cheap and inexpensive character.
