Dollop

dol·lop (dŏl'əp)
n.

1. A large lump or portion of a solid matter: a dollop of ice cream.
2. A small quantity or splash of a liquid: a dollop of whiskey.
3. A modicum; a bit: not a dollop of truth to the story.

[1573, from E. Anglian dial. dallop "patch, tuft or clump of grass," of uncertain origin. Modern sense of "a lump or glob" is 1812. Perhaps akin to Norwegian dolp, lump.]

Though I can't remember any other times when I may have used this word, I recently used it this way in an email to a friend:

"...with a dollop of synchronicity."
