Pap has a couple of different everyday meanings, and both are a little informal. First, pap is soft, bland, mushy food — the kind of food you might give a baby or a sick person who can't chew much. Second, in British newspaper slang, "pap" is a short, word for content with no real value — silly gossip or entertainment news that isn't taken seriously ("that magazine is full of pap"). In the same British slang world, "a pap" can also mean a paparazzo — a photographer who chases celebrities for photos.

- Pap he hadn't been seen for more than a year, and that was comfortable for me; I didn't want to see him no more.

Well, about this time he was found in the river drowned, about twelve mile above town, so people said. They judged it was him, anyway; said this drowned man was just his size, and was ragged, and had uncommon long hair—which was all like pap—but they couldn't make nothing out of the face, because it had been in the water so long it warn't much like a face at all.
