What is the difference between an extremely thick liquid and a solid? At which point does the difference stop mattering, it at all?

Thankfully Humboldt County is one of my favorite movies and in it Brad Douriff explains the difference.
“Solids and liquids are differentiated from one another by the way they respond to stress. If the material deforms, stays deformed or springs back when the stress is removed then it’s a solid. If instead the material flows when stressed, rearranges itself in such a way as to remove the stress, then it’s a liquid. “
