"An action that was unintended". Not convinced that this is what this word means. If it fails, please deal with any related thesaurus/synonym detritus. Equinox 02:33, 22 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

In several dictionaries with two other definitions: "watery food or drink".
slipslop”, in The Century Dictionary [], New York, N.Y.: The Century Co., 1911, →OCLC. also has "blunder".
Google slipslop (BooksGroupsScholar) seems to offer attestation for all three definitions. (Need to exclude the numerous references to "Mrs Slipslop" (in Joseph Andrews and other uses as proper name.) DCDuring (talk) 16:21, 22 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have cited numerous other definitions, but cannot find enough support for an unintended action. I also added one cite that uses slipslop as an adverb, but I have not found the required two others. Kiwima (talk) 11:04, 5 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

That didn't fit very well with the others, which all had an idea of laziness or carelessness, rather than lack of intention per se. DCDuring (talk) 01:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
