🇬🇧 Viscous meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

adjective
Viscous describes a liquid that is very thick and sticky, so it moves slowly and doesn’t pour or flow easily. Honey, slime, and syrup are viscous because they stretch and ooze instead of running quickly like water.

💬 Example Sentences

The syrup was so viscous that the pancake had time to file a complaint before it reached the edge.
My brother made a viscous smoothie that moved like it needed a nap halfway out of the cup.
The viscous paint dripped down the wall like it was doing a very lazy race with gravity.
Honey is naturally viscous because it’s thick and sticky—bees make it that way—so it flows much more slowly than water.

📖 Mini Story

A small boy drops viscous honey on the kitchen floor. The viscous puddle moves almost not at all, a viscous string stretching from jar to floor. He pokes it; his fingers come away sticky and slow, coated in viscous goo. His mother brings a spoon, lifts the viscous mess, and they both laugh, relieved.
