clear stuff

Invisible-looking substance nearby

Clear stuff is informal shorthand for transparent or see-through materials, especially liquids like water, vodka, or cleaning solutions: Just use the clear stuff, not the blue one.

The vagueness is the point—it identifies something by its most obvious visual property when the specific name doesn't matter or isn't known.
