treacle
- n a pale cane syrup
- n writing or music that is excessively sweet and sentimental
- Once they smeared treacle (molasses) on the bell rope and the whole school rapturously watched Principal Hoxton grab it.
- I've met Joe McBride, and I respect the heck out of him; but nothing in this treacle pudding of a film makes me cry, except in despair, and that's that.
- On the Web, cuddly bunnies and kittens have gone way beyond Hallmark treacle.
