I got it from the book, The Superior Person's Book of Words, by Peter Bowler, David R. Gordine, publisher. It means slug-like. My unabridged dictionary does not list it, but does list limacine, meaning the same thing. I kind of like both, maybe I can call Michael Moore the Limaceous, Limacine Slug.
