slime
Snail trail substance
Slime is a viscous, slippery substance that's typically unpleasant—think the trail left by a slug or the gunk coating a neglected drain.
The word carries strong connotations of disgust, which is why calling someone a slime or saying they're slimy suggests they're morally repulsive or untrustworthy.
As a verb, to slime is to coat with slime or, figuratively, to damage someone's reputation through underhanded tactics.
In recent years, slime has also become a popular children's craft material—a stretchy, squeezable goo made from glue and other household ingredients.
