    I… don’t think that’s true. Google trends also confirms this is a new name invented now because of the word slop trending, but I welcome being proven wrong.

    I remember we had lots of variations like Micro$oft, Microshaft, Microhard, Microshit, Microsloth, etc.

      Concur, ‘slop’ as a common word is pretty new.

      We had the names for all the potentially frustating platforms, deserved or not. I recall:

      • AIX (just pronounce as ‘aches’)
      • PHUX
      • Slowlaris
