gloppy

Viscous and messy

Gloppy describes something thick, wet, and unpleasantly messy—the consistency of paste, mud, or poorly made gravy.

The word suggests viscous formlessness: The sauce turned gloppy and congealed.

It carries mild disgust, implying something that should flow smoothly but instead clumps or sticks.
