soap
Slippery cleaning bar
Soap is a cleansing substance made from fats and an alkali, used for washing.
Bar soap is the traditional solid form; liquid soap comes in pump bottles.
Soap also refers to soap operas—serialized melodramas originally sponsored by soap manufacturers: She's been watching that soap for twenty years.
To soap is to apply soap: He soaped his hands thoroughly. (All-caps SOAP is a computing protocol.)
