glopping
Dolloping viscous stuff
Glopping is the act of depositing or applying something in a thick, messy, viscous mass.
The word captures both the sound and texture of heavy substances being dropped or spread without precision: She was glopping sour cream onto her baked potato.
It suggests more quantity and less care than a careful dollop would imply.
The related noun glop refers to any unappetizing or formless sticky substance.
