Definition
糊糊 has two main uses: as a countable uncountable noun it refers to any thick, semi-liquid food like porridge or paste (common in northern Chinese cuisine serving as a breakfast or congee substitute), and in colloquial/dialectal usage it can mean "trouble" or "a mess" — think of the expression 捅了糊糊. The second meaning is less common but fits the gloss list.
