Definitions
Slutch is a British dialectal term for slush — the wet, slushy mixture of snow and mud or dirty water underfoot. Used primarily in regional British dialects, particularly in the North and Midlands. The word has a satisfyingly onomatopoeic quality: it sounds like what it describes — something unpleasant and sodden that you'd rather not walk through. Largely obsolete outside dialect usage; standard English 'slush' has taken over in most contexts.
After the thaw the pavements were covered in slutch — grey and wet and impossible to avoid.

A Scottish dialect adjective describing something slimy, muddy, or covered in that squelchy riverbank muck that gets into your boots. Sleechy perfectly captures the unpleasant texture of tidal mud or waterlogged ground — the sort of surface that grabs your feet and makes horrible sucking noises as you walk. It's a wonderfully expressive word that sounds exactly as gross as the thing it describes. Still found in Scottish coastal and farming communities.
