A loblolly refers to a soggy, muddy patch of ground where footing quickly becomes uncertain. The word has a low, sloshy sound that matches the place it describes. If you've ever stepped somewhere that swallowed your shoe whole, you've met a loblolly.
Example: After the heavy rain, the path turned into a squishy loblolly, making it hard to walk.
