Definition
泥浆 is a compound noun meaning 'slurry' or 'mud' in a technical sense — it refers to a thick, fluid mixture of solid particles and water, used especially in drilling (oil wells, geothermal) and construction (wall plastering, trenching). You'll encounter it in civil engineering or petroleum industry contexts; it's not just general 'wet mud' (which would be 烂泥).
