  Slump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slump is a form of mass wasting event that occurs when loosely consolidated materials or rock layers move a short distance down a slope.
The area where the mass broke away from the slope is often cliff-like and concave.
The speed of slump varies widely, ranging from meters per second, to meters per year.

 Mass Wasting in the Fargo, North Dakota, Region: Slump
Slump is common where clay-rich materials are exposed along a steep slope.
Slump is typically identified as the downward movement of a block of earth material along some curved surface of failure.
Note the rotation of the slump block (foreground) and the association of this process with the active cutbank on the outside of the meander.

 Testing and Modelling of Fresh Concrete Rheology - The Modified Slump Test
The choice of this "partial slump" took into consideration two potential problems: (1) a height that was too small would lead to very small slump times and thus poor relative precision of measurement; (2) a partial slump that was too large would rule out all of the concretes with a smaller final slump.
The modified slump test as described was performed on all of the mixtures and the partial slump times (which will hereafter be called the slump times) are given in the tables in Appendix IV-VI.
Therefore, the modified slump test is most likely to be used as a quality control procedure in the field, and the rheometer as a development instrument for determining the optimum mix design for a specific application.

 johnaugust.com » The sky is not falling
If there is a slump at the box office I think its less to do with the films (the number of good to bad has remained the same for years, and this summer produced some pretty good films) than the whole cinema-going experience.
The box-office being in a “slump” is irrelevant, as it makes very little different to profits of the industry as a whole.
One thing that’s funny about the quality argument of the “slump” is that most of the movies that don’t seem to find and audience here, that take in little money and are labeled “flops” tend to make most of their money (often a profit) overseas.

To determine the plastic viscosity the time necessary for the upper surface of the concrete in the standard slump cone to slump 100 mm was measured.
Semi-empirical models are proposed for the yield stress and for the plastic viscosity as function of the final slump and slumping time.
The application of the modified slump test for the evaluation of the viscosity is limited to concretes with a slump of 120 to 260 mm.

Mel Gibson's "Passion," which at this point last year had been playing for four-plus months to good but not great crowds, is one reason why 2005 looks more anemic than 2004, but it's not contributing to the weekend slumps, when fewer people are seeing movies than during comparable weekends last year.

It may also be referred to as grunt, which was named for the echo of sounds coming from the bubbling fruit under the dough as it cooks.
