Sloppy Joe: What it is?
The Sloppy Joe. Man's answer to a heap of unidentified ground meat. Add some 'sauce', mix the mess. Sloppy Joe is what it is.

And who was this Joe of Slop? Did he invent the Joe, or merely loan his name to the mound of meat? Was he sloppy himself, or neat as could be? His 'sloppy' nickname intended to be funny?

Sloppy Joe, it is what it is.
