Soapy is an adjective that describes something as having a slippery, slimy or greasy texture. It can also refer to something that has been washed with soap and therefore feels clean and smooth to touch. The term may be used in various contexts such as describing the feel of a surface after it has been cleaned, characterizing a person's hands if they have just washed them or referring to a substance that is visibly foamy or bubbly due to its soap content.
