An easily made example of a colloid is corn starch and water. A naturally occuring example of a colloid is quicksand. Both of these things will resist sudden impacts without taking a dent. An object placed on either one, however, will slowly become engulfed.
A real-world application of colloids is the use of packets of finely grained sand and glycerin sewn into body armor; during the impact of a bullet, the colloid instantly becomes rigid and spreads the force-load, then returns to its original semi-solid state.
