The word "ooze" means:

  • To flow or leak out slowly
  • Soft mud or slime
  • To display some characteristic or quality
Thus its connotation would be imparted by how it was used in a sentence rather than being intrinsically good or bad.

Is the word surprise a connotation if so is it a negative or positive or neutral connotation?

The word surprise is not a connotation, but it can haveconnotations. This is a complicated question, however. Connotative meaning is the implied or understood meaning of a word or phrase; it is opposed to the denotative meaning, which is the dictionary definition for a word. The complication arises in that connotative meanings differ from person to person.For example, for one person surprise could have a positive connotation. It could make them think of surprise birthday parties, of receiving unexpected gifts, et cetera. For another, it could have a neutral connotation. Sometimes surprises are good, sometimes they are bad. For a third person, it could have a negative connotation. Surprises could mean unforeseen bills or a sudden tragedy. Meanings are not in words, but in people. The connotation of the word surprise, therefore, depends on the person.

Is rash positive or negative?

If you mean the word "rash," typically the word has a negative connotation. When some acts "rashly," it means they are being reckless, careless, or perhaps over-the-top. That's the adjectival or adverbial (descriptive) use. For more evidence of this, simply look at the noun: rash - which is an irritation of the skin. That's bad. Apply a bad noun to an adjective and, typically, you get a word with a negative connotation.
