runny

This term typically carries a slightly negative or undesirable connotation, suggesting a lack of desired firmness or an uncontrolled flow of liquid. When describing food, such as eggs or sauces, it implies a texture that is thinner than the ideal or standard consistency.

In a medical context, the word is used almost exclusively to describe the involuntary secretion of mucus from the nasal passages or tears from the eyes. It is a common, informal descriptor used in everyday conversation rather than a clinical term like rhinorrhea.
