OriginEarly 19th century: variant of the noun slush. slush from mid 17th century: Slush and sludge (early 17th century) probably both imitate the sound made by walking through them, with slosh (early 19th century) being a variant of slush. Slush was also used by sailors for the accumulated fat which was left in the pot after meat was boiled for the crew. This could be sold off for use as a lubricant or fuel and the money used to buy luxuries for the crew. This was the original slush fund (mid 19th century), which had come to mean money used as a bribe by the late 19th century.
