In Do Androids Dream... PKD uses the word "kipple" as a metaphor for the entropic dust of a slowly emptying world. The terms 'crud' and 'slop' evoke this for me - an enshittified buildup of useless material that proliferates as the world empties out of form and meaning.
Happily—no slop here! Thank you.
