dhoop

Any sort of messy (especially runny or drippy), unidentifiable, light-colored food. (Dhoop is actually incense used by Hindus. This definition resulted from seeing the word in passing in a book and trying to guess what it meant from its sound alone. We thought it had a wet and sloppy sound, hence our definition. A sizable group of my friends uses the "messy" definition now. It might not be a widely-used word yet, but that's how things like this get started.)

"I didn't know what Al's Mom served us. It was some sort of dhoop poured over rice."
