glooping

Making viscous sounds

Glooping describes the sound or action of a thick, viscous substance moving or being poured—the wet, sluggish noise of mud, batter, or slime: The lava kept glooping down the hillside.

The word is onomatopoeic, evoking the slow, heavy quality of something too thick to splash or splatter cleanly.
