gunges

Thick gooey substances

Gunges is the plural of gunge, British slang for any thick, sticky, unpleasant substance—the goo that clogs drains, the residue left in old machinery, the mysterious slime children delight in making.

There were gunges of various colors clogging the pipes.

The word also verbs: to gunge someone is to cover them in goo, a staple of British children's television.
