Quite a few of the others are good too, but my long-term favourite is still [**thixotropic**](http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=thixotropic), describing mixtures that are solid when left alone, liquefy when stirred, and solidify again. Try it with a tub of yogurt. Of course there’s always Jack Soo’s immortal line from the hash-brownies episode of _Barney Miller_: “Mooshy! Mooshy! Mooshy!” ---
