slatherings

Generous coating amounts

Slatherings are thick, generous amounts spread or applied to a surface.

The word usually describes food: slatherings of butter on toast, slatherings of mayonnaise.

It can extend to anything applied lavishly: slatherings of praise, slatherings of makeup.

The plural emphasizes abundance—not a thin coat but repeated, excessive application.
