Gail Drake, the co-founder of LEAMIS, calls it "oogley"; I never knew the Dr. Seuss reference but I assume that "oogley" must just be a corruption of "oobleck." We use it as an object lesson in the need to maintain the disciplines of faith (prayer, Bible study, etc.) -- we make the oogley so that it feels solid as long as you're working with it, kneading it with your fingers, but it liquefies as soon as you let it alone. It's quite a hit in the leadership seminars, as people pass it from person to person, trying to keep it from liquefying in the process.
