goop

Viscous icky substance

Goop is any thick, sticky, messy substance—the stuff that oozes, drips, or clings unpleasantly: There's some kind of goop on my shoe.

The word suggests something unidentifiable or vaguely disgusting.

It works for everything from hair gel to industrial sludge to mysterious residue in the back of the refrigerator.
