Tripe

Tripe is the name for the stomach tissue and brains of domesticated animals, such as cows, sheep, pigs, etc., when eaten as food. It often contains remnants of the butchered animal's last meal, and therefore must be cleaned meticulously prior to human consumption.

Tripe is consumed in many parts of the world, most commonly as an ingredient in sausages, soups, and stews. Many Americans are unaware when they are being fed tripe. Some types of hot dogs, for example, are made with it. Evansville, Indiana is the largest consumer per capita of tripe in the United States.^[1]

Tripe is also a common term for redundant, silly, and nauseating rhetoric, such as DNC talking points.
