Dollop

Word of the Day

Dollop is a noun that refers to a massive blob of something.

Our word of the day’s origin is uncertain, but we know it can mean a wide range of things from a giant lump of ice cream to a huge mound of dirt. Although mostly a noun, it can also be used as a verb, which means to add or serve a giant blob of something. For example: I have no idea what this big green blob is. The cafeteria worker just dolloped it onto my plate, so I assume it must be edible.
