Vicious or vicious means extremely mean and nasty, spiteful or malicious--
The ugly witch cast a vicious spell on her ex-lover when he told her he could never love her warts.

Viscous or viscous means thick or sticky, when describing a liquid--
The witch concocted a viscous, bubbling green potion in her cauldron, intending to poison her victim.
The liquid was so viscous that it wouldn't pour out of the jar.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"If your drink seems especially viscous this Halloween, check your bartender for warts to make sure you're not about to be the victim of a vicious witch."
Note--"viscose" is a type of fiber made from cellulose, used to make rayon and cellophane--
The tag says it's made of viscose, but I don't know if it's washable.
