On Products And Items That Are Said To "Drop" Or Are "Dropping" (What A Stupid Phrase)

Products and Items that are described as ready to "drop"

become little more than just the latest "droppings":

just one more example of contemporary language's sloppings.

I pray to Christ and His Blessed Mother that this kind of discourse will stop.

Thank you, and yes I agree. 

Thank you, and yes I agree.  Drop implies damage or fecal waste.  When my adopted parents wanted to embarrass me, they sometimes said I had been dropped on my head before the adoption; in school, I dropped a class I had no chance of passing; and my father remarked about the neighbor's boxer dog, once, by saying, "That damn Mike just dropped a pile like I have never seen before."  (Mike, the neighbor's senior dog, did have very active and efficient bowels.)
