Gucks

/ɡʌks/ noun

Definition

Plural of guck; multiple types or instances of sticky, messy substances.

Etymology

From guck + -s (standard English plural). A straightforward plural formation.

Kelly Says

Even the plural 'gucks' sounds onomatopoetic—the hard K sound makes you hear the actual stickiness of the substance, which is why nonsense words often become slang faster than 'proper' synonyms.
