A glacier moves like a fluid, though a very stiff, viscous fluid; its motion may therefore be rightly called viscoid.

   Cystic fibrosis has a number of GI [gastrointestinal] complications, mostly resulting from the viscous mucoid inspissated material that occupies the small and large bowel. These include meconium ileus, intussusception, and appendicitis. The colon can also become occupied by the viscoid material, leading to meconium ileus equivalent syndrome, which resembles meconium ileus and predominantly affects the cecum and ascending colon.
