It looks like treacle.

Fill up the glasses, Mickey. A tio Pepe, please, not this treacle.

Here is an example from an op ed on Thanksgiving, in the Boston Globe a couple of years ago, where the writer wrote, The Indian life was a difficult one, but there were no employment problems, community harmony was strong, substance abuse unknown, crime nearly non existent, what warfare there was between tribes was largely ritualistic and seldom resulted in indiscriminate or wholesale slaughter. Now, you're all familiar with this treacle.
