"Slopware," similar to shovelware, is a combination of the words "slop" and "software." Slopware is software of poor quality, such as a video game. That is intended and created for the general consumer audience, who will buy and glorify it without a second thought.

Guy 2: Nope, all new triple A games are your standard slopware.
Slopware commonly refers to a piece of software, usually a video game, that is unfinished, badly made and poor in general.
Unlike shovelware, that can refer to games sold for cheap on larger platforms, slopware is frequently used to refer to free games uploaded to indie game websites, often in the horror category.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
