Etymology

Named for a popular genre of YouTube videos in the late 2010s that instructed viewers on how to make slime; by sharing a name with a popular search term, illicit videos of copyrighted productions were less likely to be flagged for copyright infringement or otherwise removed from video-sharing sites.
