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.
