'Blob' was the nearest modern, common usage term I could locate to match

You illustrated a lack of knowledge of the definition of glob I was using, so I told you what it was in rough terms. In what universe is it a sane response to find another word with a similar definition I should have let you remain ignorant!!!

your totally inappropriate "amorphous lump" description.

Who are you talking to? I never described them as that.

I defy you to find one modern usage -- outside of a dictionary definition -- of the word 'glob' to mean "amorphous lump".

Easy, I've heard it hundreds of time. On Google, «"glob of"» returns a million results.

Even if you found one, it would still be totally inapproproriate. [sic]

You don't even know what it means, yet you know it's inappropriate? Wow, I knew you were closed minded, but that takes the cake.
