splooge

Etymology

Onomatopoeic, from the ejection of a liquid. Compare with spooge, spoo, spooch. The term is first attested isolatedly in noun sense 2 ("ejection", "ejaculation"), referring to a dripping mop, in a 1919 St. Nicholas issue (see quotations); it is used in Anthony Burgess' 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange to represent the impact of a sudden, forceful, splashing blow; it also appears in a 1966 book as an onomatopoeia for the milking of a cow. The term was popularized in all its senses around late 1980s, as evidenced in two 1991 slang dictionaries.
