dollop
Imprecise creamy portion
A dollop is a small, soft lump or blob of something, typically food: a dollop of whipped cream, a dollop of sour cream on the baked potato.
The word suggests an imprecise, casually applied portion rather than a measured amount.
Figuratively, a dollop of something is a small quantity: The story needs a dollop of humor.
