Sloppy seconds (or slops in Australian slang[1]) is a slang phrase for when a man has sexual intercourse with a (female or male[2]) partner shortly after that person has had intercourse with someone else, and is therefore wet or "sloppy".
[3][4] The phrase "buttered bun" is sometimes used to refer to said orifice.
[5][6] The practice is also referred to as a "wet deck".
[7] The term has since been stretched as a derogatory metaphor to demean someone having a relationship with a person who had previously been dating another individual within the peer group,[8] analogous to the way female virginity has historically been correlated with purity.
In November 2022, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas was criticised after using the term in a press conference.
