mudball
Soil packed round
A mudball is a ball made of mud, typically formed by hand—the kind children throw at each other or pack together in play.
The term extends to anything resembling such a ball: a clump of dirty laundry, a matted tangle in an animal's fur, or informally, a messy or unimpressive place: This town is a real mudball.
