glopped

Sloppily poured out

Glopped is the past tense of glop, meaning to drop or spread something thick and messy: She glopped mashed potatoes onto his plate.

The word suggests an unappetizing or careless application of viscous material—sauce glopped on pasta, sunscreen glopped on skin.

It's informal and mildly comic.
