slimy

Wet and gross

Slimy describes something covered with or resembling slime—wet, slippery, and slightly viscous: slimy seaweed, a slimy slug.

The texture provokes disgust, which carries into the figurative sense: a slimy person is repulsively ingratiating or dishonest, someone who makes you feel like you need a shower after dealing with them.
