Splange

Splange (noun, pronounced splanj) is a general term describing a semi-solid/semi-liquid aggregate of largely unidentifiable material.

Origin

The term, splange, was coined by REDdimension Wiki Circle member, Cory Patrick, in January 2008 at a regular Margarita Friday at Mi Toro mexican restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida.

Cory had ordered a combination platter which was to include a chile relleno, which is generally agreed upon as some variety of stuffed pepper. Instead, though, Cory's meal arrived with what appeared to be an aggregate of shredded hamburger, white cheese and pepper chunks, heated to melting and fired onto the plate from the muzzle of a food cannon.

Expressing his displeasure at the unexpected appearance of his chile relleno, Cory was heard to say, "That's not a chile relleno, that's just... splange!"

The term, both in sound and suggestive reference, seemed to perfectly characterize the condition of the entree.

Usage

Splange has since been diversified in usage to describe any viscous material not immediately identifiable.

Example 1: "What the hell is that splange on your window?"

Example 2: "There's some splange on your backpack."

Splange is versatile enough to also be used as a verb, showing the action of the application of a splange-like material.

Example 3: "Dude, you just splanged all over my desk!"
