Clooge

Part of speech: noun

Definitions

1. To block or fill something up with a sticky, thick material so that it no longer flows freely

3. To become stuck or clotted with a heavy, adhesive substance that gathers and hinders movement

Etymology: "Clooge" is a informal noun for something clogged with sticky goo, and its shape suggests a blend of "clog" and "goo." That is a likely reading rather than a documented one, since the word's first appearance and exact formation are not well recorded. The "-ge" ending and the "oo" vowel both fit the pattern of colloquial coinages that pair a solid-sounding base with a messy-sounding partner.
