Sloppy seconds explained

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 who already has received another man's penis in the relevant orifice 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 is used, by extension, to refer to any act of entering into a sexual relationship with a person who had previously been in a sexual relationship with someone else in one's peer group.^[8]

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.^[9]
