squirty
Liable to spray
Squirty describes something that squirts or has a tendency to squirt—that is, to emit liquid in a thin, forceful stream.
A squirty bottle dispenses its contents this way.
The word often appears in informal contexts describing messy or unpredictable liquid behavior: The ketchup got all squirty and sprayed everywhere.
It can also characterize bodily functions, particularly diarrhea, in crude but expressive usage.
