viscous blood

[alpacinou]

Hello.

Have I used "viscous" correctly and naturally? Is it a common word?

She shot him. He collapsed, a pool of viscous blood spreading around him.

I don't think so. I don't think viscous blood flows very quickly.

My memory tells me that "viscous" refers to a liquid that flows slowly. (I'm willing to be proved wrong.)

I checked the dictionary. But I meant to say "spread slowly". Is that possible?

 

[Tarheel]

Sure. Of course, the blood will flow rather quickly until its temperature drops. Then it will slow until it stops altogether.

Tarheel, out of curiosity, what browser are you using? I've never encountered a browser that doesn't allow you to have multiple tabs open at the same time, whether you're on a phone, a tablet, a laptop or a desktop. I currently have 16 different websites open and I switch between them simply by clicking on the relevant tab.

I have Google Chrome. (I didn't remember that, so I asked Google and it happened again.)

It's seems to only happen with UE.
