Sloppy seconds
Type of sex act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 December 2008, the NHL suspended Sean Avery after he made a "sloppy seconds" comment about other players dating his ex-girlfriends.[9]
In November 2022, South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas was criticised after using the term in a press conference. He apologised, and said he was not aware that it was a sexual term.[10]
