sweepings

Sweepings: The scraps, leavings, hand-me-downs, things tossed aside as the quality stuff is grabbed up at sales. Junk.
Allie and her friend Brenda waited all night to get into the store with the Grand Opening mega-sale. As they were scrunched through the door the mob rushed right through them and by the time they could get the clothes they dreamed of - all that was left were torn & dirty things that were either way too small or large enough to use as a tent. Scraps and pieces of clothing littered the floors, trampled and raggedly filthy junk.

Well Bren, looks like were stuck with the sweepings.

Sweepings

The official term used to label anything that is swept into a pile of trash with the use of a broom.

The size of individual pieces inside the pile as a whole does not matter unless that piece is removed from the pile. In this case that piece of sweeping is no longer regarded as a sweeping but simply as trash or whatever wierd use a person could have for something that has been in a pile of sweepings.
I had the biggest pile of sweepings I'd seen in a long time swept together when I was cleaning my kitchen last night. Then my dog came in and picked out a large piece which then appeared to be half of a trashy Home Gardening Magazine. What he did with it I'll never know.

Sleeping Warrior

An individual who proposes the earth is a flat plane surrounded by an icy pizza crust and makes wild claims that objects fall or float due to their density only.

A gravity denier who beats off into a Henry vacuum cleaner and considers that scientific method.

A flat earther who cannot research and / or doesn't wash. A keyboard warrior for those who are still asleep.

An unscientific and unimaginative attention seeker who proves the earth is a globe yet denies the evidence in order to make money off other people's good nature.

A predator and a charlatan. An unremarkable Level 1 Pandarian Monk from Azeroth.
Person A: "Got a vacuum cleaner handy?"
Person B: "Don't be a sleeping warrior."

Person A: "So i told the idiot Mt Rainer should tower over Mt St Helen at the height illustrated in that photograph, but he got the height wrong"
Person B: "The height was referring to the side peak of Mt St Helens, not the summit"
Person A: "The photograph is fake then"

Sweeping the Roof

A job Sweeping the Roof is a no show job. Essentially you don't have to go in because who's going to check or know if you've swept the roof.
My uncle Joey got me a job 9-5 sweeping the roof over on W 32nd Street.
