Kipple is also an esoteric programming language. See Kipple programming language.
Kipple is a term coined by science fiction author Philip K. Dick. It refers to unwanted or useless junk. Some of Dick's descriptions of it suggest an analogy to entropy. According to one of his characters, John Isidore, the first law of "kipple" is that "kipple" drives out "nonkipple."
From Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?:
"There's the First Law of Kipple," he said. "'Kipple drives out nonkipple.' Like Gresham's law about bad money. And in these apartments there's been nobody there to fight the kipple."
