noodly
Like cooked pasta
Noodly describes something resembling noodles in texture, appearance, or movement—typically long, thin, and floppy.
It often characterizes limbs or appendages that seem boneless or lacking coordination: His noodly arms flailed as he tried to catch the ball.
The word gained particular currency through the satirical deity the Flying Spaghetti Monster, whose "noodly appendage" became an irreverent blessing among followers.
Noodly can also describe music with excessive, meandering guitar solos.
