- Syrupy: having a relatively high resistance to flow
- Gluey: having the sticky properties of an adhesive
- (viscousness) viscosity: resistance of a liquid to shear forces (and hence to flow)
- Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". ...
- (Viscosity (printmaking)) Viscosity printing is a multi-color printmaking technique that incorporates principles of relief printing and intaglio printing. It was pioneered by Stanley William Hayter. ...
- (Viscosity (programming)) In object oriented programming, viscosity refers to the ease at which a developer can add design-preserving code to a system. If it is easier to add a hack than it is to add code that fits into the program's design, then the system has high viscosity. ...
- (Viscosity (software)) Viscosity is also an out-of-print image and animation editing utility published by Sonic Foundry. It can work with PNG, GIF, JPG/JPEG, BMP, AVI and its native VSC format.
- Having a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid; Of or pertaining to viscosity
