What does SLIME mean in Scrabble?
noun
A thick, slippery, and often unpleasant liquid or semi-liquid substance.
Slime coats many living things for a practical reason, since a slug, snail or fish relies on its slippery covering to move more easily, retain moisture or discourage predators from getting a firm grip. The word extends readily to any dirty, sticky mess that behaves the same way, whether it collects at the bottom of a neglected pond or clings to something left too long in a damp place. Children's toy slime, a stretchy, gooey compound sold for play, borrowed the word directly for its similar texture rather than for any biological connection. Writers also use slime figuratively to describe a person seen as deceitful or repellent, extending the physical unpleasantness of the substance to character.
How SLIME is used
Common in everyday speech for any thick, sticky substance, and used figuratively of a repellent or deceitful person.
- A trail of slime marked where the snail had crawled across the path.
- Green slime coated the surface of the stagnant pond.
- The children mixed glue and water to make homemade slime.
- Thick slime clung to the rocks below the waterline.
- She called the con artist a slime for cheating his own family.
