Question smooshy

Hi! I first heard the word -smooshy from the American cartoon -Barnyard. I got the definition of the word as below. I want to know whether it is vulgar if I use this word. Thanks!

Quote:
smooshy
It is messy, done badly, crappy.
Man that painting is smooshy.
You are hella smooshy.
That is smooshy.

No, it's not offensive. It's a slang term to describe something that is messy. Try to imagine picking up gelatin in your hand - it would squeeze through your fingers and fall out of your palm. It is "smooshy."
