sludginess
Thick, gooey consistency
The quality of being thick, murky, or slow-moving like sludge.
Sludginess can describe liquids that resist flowing freely: the sludginess of old motor oil.
The word extends to anything that feels sluggish or bogged down: a mental sludginess after too little sleep, the sludginess of bureaucratic processes.
