Vendor trash
From WoWWiki
Vendor trash is collectively items which will most likely not be sold to any player and have no function in the game except to be sold to an NPC vendor for money, hence the term vendor trash. Generally, most players agree that poor quality or "gray" items fall into this category. Also known as "Junk" to some players.
(Items with a white name on the other hand do have some purpose, although this may not be something all players can do - some items are for recipes belonging to another profession, some are for quests available only to the opposing faction, and so on.)
Note that some players use this term in a relative rather than absolute fashion. For instance, players with the appropriate skills can make use of the meat dropped by defeated animals (Hunters or Cooks especially), the cloth dropped by defeated humanoids(Blacksmiths, Doctors or Tailors especially), or other items. Players without those skills, however, may consider these items vendor trash.
To some, even all soulbound items are vendor trash, as well as any items that are of no use to anyone, such as those not usable in any recipe and those not found in any quest goals. But even this type of vendor trash can be useful for disenchanting.
Some items do not even have a sell price. Among these are average drops, but also there are quest-only items that you might get too many of, and since you can't sell them, you have to trash them. These items are technically not vendor trash, since you can't even sell them, but can be classified as junk.
