Glop is a thick, soft, wet mass of something — food, paint, mud, glue, whatever would go splat. A spoon of ketchup in a lump, mashed potato that is too wet, a pile of melted cheese: that is glop. It is informal and a little about the stuff; you say it when you do not like the look or the feel. It is also a verb: to glop something on is to put a thick wet pile of it onto something, without much care. Not a polite restaurant word. Casual American English uses it; textbooks almost never do. Though actually, it is not a kind of food with a recipe — it is a complaint about texture.
黏糊糊的一坨、糊狀物(很口語,帶點嫌棄。)
組成Does not split. The noun showed up around 1940–45 as a sound-word for something thick and wet (in the same noisy area as goop and gulp). The verb is a variation of glope.
