definition mush
Mush is a soft, squishy clump of something. That bowlful of mush your grandfather gave you for breakfast might be oatmeal. Mush is a soggy mass, and cornmeal mush is a kind of porridge that fits this description. Mush is also something so overly sentimental that it's almost disgusting: Oh, that movie was terrible, just a bunch of romantic mush!.
