How to use "Sticky" in context?
Often people refer to anything as "sticky" that doesn't want to come off, such as a sticker or bandage. Although the definition of sticky may vary depending on the person, most people would say that the term is used more to denote a lack of ability to move rather than an adhesive qualities. This is because most adhesives will eventually lose their grip and come off, whereas something that is sticky will hold on tightly.
This type of stickiness can be due to a number of factors, such as humidity and surface tension.
