Interesting connection, tsuwm! Have never seen plastic used as a synonym (of sorts) for unctuous before and, even now, the visual pictures of the two words don't quite gel. As regards, defining one in terms of the other; it seems to me that they do have a shared commonality: the property of "malleability". And so, in this sense, their definitions come together.
