Reply to comment by notinferno in 'It's a pretty gross and offensive phrase': SA Premier under fire for 'sloppy seconds' comment by notinferno

Tbf, I knew it had a sexual connotation, but completely thought it was a derision towards secondhand anything from food, to clothes, well... anything. It's been used in professional work environments, comic books, etc. that way around me in the US for decades now.

So, I doubt we're all on the same page about it being 'only' a sexual slang.

It’s people wanting to be offended for the sake of being offended, this is a nothing burger

It’s not offensive, though. At all. It’s just gross. People have lost all understanding of what constitutes offence or being offended

It’s the first time I’ve heard it as an explicit and specific sexual act and when I tried to look for definitions all I could find was sloppy seconds in a sexual context. I’m not sure if I am being Mandela effected, but I could have sworn to have heard sloppy seconds in many normal contexts

Yeah I was pretty sure that the sexual connotation came from the idea that no one wants leftover food - like no thanks kid, I don’t want your half chewed cookie, which then evolved into a sexual reference because that’s what people do.

It reminds me of when people use the term groupie. Usually we think of it like someone who's a fan of someone in a band, at least using the term casually. But it also means someone who had sex with multiple members of a band or follows them on tour to have sex with them.

just chiming in that this is very much a dirty term in my book. I would never use this unless i want to be grossly funny with close friends.

or, y'know, on reddit or youtube or something.

Yeah, agreed. 100% feel like most "sexual slang" can be applied to...a lot of different scenarios that arent sexual and describe the object or event in question better than other phrases might.
