splooshing

Liquid hitting surface

Splooshing is the sound or act of liquid moving with a heavy, wet splash—thicker and messier than a simple splash: Water splooshed out of the bucket as she walked.

The word is onomatopoeic, evoking the specific sound of liquid hitting or moving through something.

In slang, sploosh (the related exclamation) can express intense attraction or arousal, popularized by the TV show *Archer*.
