sploosh

Water hitting surface

Sploosh is an onomatopoeia for the sound of something hitting or emerging from liquid—a heavy splash with some viscosity to it: The watermelon fell into the pool with a sploosh.

In slang, particularly from the TV show *Archer*, sploosh expresses intense attraction or arousal, mimicking the imagined sound of sudden wetness: He took off his shirt and I was like, sploosh.
