mud slides
Saturated slope disasters
Mud slides are flows of saturated earth down a slope, often triggered by heavy rain or earthquakes.
The term also names a cocktail combining vodka, coffee liqueur, and Irish cream—sweet, creamy, and deceptively strong: We ordered mud slides at the bar.
Sometimes spelled as one word: mudslides.
