slop shoot

The construction and contents of a particular slop-shoot are thus described by Dr. Whitmore[?]. It was a large space of about 200 feet square, built up at the sides to a considerable height by means of paving stones, so that the liquid matter thrown into it should not escape, and this was filled up to a height of some six feet with what is called the “slop” from the streets.

Meet me at the slopshoot

On the old Wangpoo

Bring along your dipnet

There's enough for two.

We'll have mashed potatoes

And some Navy stew

Meet me at the slopshoot

On the old Wangpoo
