The word "slopsucker" is a combination of "slop" and "sucker".
The term "slop" originally referred to semiliquid food or drink, such as the leftover gruel or swill given to pigs. Over time, it expanded to include any liquid or watery substance, often with a negative connotation.
The word "sucker" in this context is likely derived from the verb "to suck", which means to draw in or consume a liquid or substance. Figuratively, it can be used to describe someone who excessively or eagerly consumes or drinks something undesirable or of low quality.
When combined, "slopsucker" refers to a person who habitually consumes or drinks slop, or someone who has a voracious appetite for anything low-quality or undesirable. However, it is worth mentioning that "slopsucker" is not a commonly used term in English.
