Thick and
sticky and pretty
darn viscous, like
slime, motor
oil, or pancake
batter. Gooey stuff
sticks to your hands,
messes up your clothing, and
gums up the works in your expensive electronic items. You can
wash gooey stuff off your hands, but it's going to be a whole lot harder to get your clothes, your stereo, or your computer
clean afterwards.
Also,
obnoxiously
sweet behavior exhibited by people in
love (or just in
lust). Too many gooey
love poems will give you
cooties.
Come to think of it, too much gooey love poetry can also lead to
other gooey substances...
