You're so close, I'm going to give it to you! Here's the technical definition:

"A solid can resist a shear stress by a static deflection; a fluid cannot." (Emphasis in original; that's how fundamental this definition is to the study of fluid mechanics!).

Anyone else got any good physics riddles?
Not bad for a dropout hick eh?
