Describing the sound of liquid hitting the floor

I'm searching for a word describing the sound of liquid hitting the floor, nothing like water — more like milkshake/vomit.

I know this sounds strange, but I was thinking of plunge. Only to discover that it's more in use for people diving into water...


This comes to my mind:

splat 2 informal noun a sound of something soft and wet or heavy striking a surface : the goblin makes a huge splat as he hits the ground.

Could apply to a quantity of water, I imagine. Also, it's a 19th century abbreviation of splatter, which might also work.


"Splosh" was my first thought. It's just a variation of "splash," but I always think of splashing in a bathtub. "Slosh" would be the sound you get shaking liquid in a basin of some sort. Thus, I offer "splosh."

...Now that I think about it, though, a lot of the time when something as thick as a milkshake hits the ground it makes more of a "slap" than anything else...

May I suggest an experiment...?


What about plop? It has a thick sound to it. According to Wikitionary, it's even been converted to a noun in the UK, as a slang term for excrement, presumably from the sound of its hitting the water and its having just the right consistency.
