" слизано"

[P Petrov]

@ Peter Scotto: Yes, indeed, this is the word I couldn't think of, the one
that translates properly "slizannyi" in a phrase like "slizannyi bolt." It
would not do, however, in a combination with "foreheads" (since they don't
have grooves!).

@ Mikhail Lipyansky: I learned a new word today. Thanks!
