I can't be the only one who really wants Kelsey to do a YT series on WAM, dealing with questions like this
I'm surprised to hear people saying that slime is supposed to be thicker--I've always thought just the opposite
Slime to me is usually specifically referring to a (usually green) liquidy viscous substance, but can sometimes have clumps in it. (i.e., "Nickelodeon style")
I just use gunge as a catch-all for everything else messy that isn't slime. (i.e., food based mess is usually referred to as gunge).
The only exception I think would be Natrasol based gunge (which technically falls under "slime" by my definition, but I still refer to it as "gunge")
For me it is like saying what's the difference between a flat and apartment? They are the same thing but one is said in Britain, the other America. People might actually disagree what something has to be, to be an apartment/flat. Number of rooms maybe or size or number of floors for example. But they are the generic term. Same with gunge/slime - one is said in Britain generally (and I think New Zealand!), the other America (and everywhere else). I don't think there is an agreement. I don't think slime has to be chunky for example. I do associate it with green and fairly smooth, but then in the UK a show called SMU has thick, creamy and multi coloured 'slime'.

Thats a really good analogy because there's a colloquial distinction here; an apartment is often considered modern and upmarket while a flat typically an older place in a less affluent area. But they're both still single-floor dwellings in a multi-story complex. (so if your selling/renting call it an apartment, you might get more for it)
This is the same distinction I'm trying to understand with this thread.
Love you, too
Clay is self explained, no confusion. Unless you want to discuss types of.
