The origin of the word is from a Dr. Seuss book named, "Bartholomew and the Oobleck. It is a non-Newtonian substance made of cornstarch and water that acts like a solid when force is applied. You can pour it or have it drip from your fingers. You can make it with 1 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of water (add food coloring to the water) and mix.
