Help(please)
Hi, everyone

Could you help me?

In the comment section of(or TO?) an article headlined "Female guest at Samoa event says Scott Brown stared at her chest" , I saw(or I've see ??) some commented that read: "

1) Small potatoes, hardly several day story
2) What if he tells you he was absented minded as that point in time? Looking at your direction but not actually seeing you. Please, give us another gist"
3) (two people were arguing) A: Stories like this were designed to show the world that scum like you will always make excuses for other scumbags." B: Keep slopping it up.

What do "hardly several day story", "as that point in time", "give us another gist" and "slipping it up" mean?

Please, could you help me?

Answer

hardly a several day story: the topic is not very important so it wont be talked about for very long.
at that point in time: that specific moment, not always. 
gist: this is the main point of the topic, so in this case, give us something else to argue about.
slopping up: this is a negative phrase for eating a lot quickly. in this case they main taking in a lot of information without thinking. pretty negative way to say the other person believes anything they hear that agrees with them.
