How to use "Unctuousness" in context?
Uctuousness is a word used to describe the pleasant and pleasing lip qualities that result in a buccal display of lipid droplets. Uctuousness is characterized by a large number of small lipid droplets, and the presence of bubbles in the surrounding liquid. Lipid droplets with uctuous qualities are typically more aesthetically pleasing than those that are flat or have small lipid droplets. Uctuousness is related to other lip qualities, such as succulence, which is the perception of sweetness. Uctuous lip displays are common in mammals, and are used to attract mates or intimidate rivals.
