Hello!

I read the following sentence:

Message-ID: <1045mhj$4ce5$1@dont-email.me>

|Its hilarious to think of the underpaid slap that
|has to clean up the bio-hazard. Its fun & easy!

What does the word slap as noun mean in this context?
Is that grammatically correct in this case (the sentence has other
issues)?

kind regards

'Slap' meaning, I suppose, a menial, drudge, or skivvy is unknown to me.
The Urban Dictionary has:

<https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slap>

and

<https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slap%20nuts>.

As for problems in the rest of the sentence, well, personally I'd
replace 'that' with 'who' (as a humanising gesture), and 'Its' should definitely be 'It's'.

IMHO, the sentiment expressed is repellent and boorish.

Forgot to mention the ampersand. All right in an informal register,
which this appears to be, and when space is tight, as in an SMS.
Otherwise, it's better to write 'and' in full.

Yes. Revolting.
