GALLEYGLOP

A new addition to the Big Book of Bunkum:

galleyglop (n.) euphemism meaning a burnt sea biscuit that’s none the worse for wear


“Give me galleyglop or give me death!” replied ‘Digby Dagger’, (a part-time pirate and rakish paramour of par-boiled roasted turnips, grilled watercress, and lightly-simmered acorns garnished with a dollop of dung-beetle jam on a slice of 100% multi-grain dry toast).


Contributed by: Tivoli Wallraff, a short-order cook at “The Ten-Course Greasy Spoon Cafe” in Clatsop (Oregon), and unrequited lover of clandestine winks, pop-tarts, and silk boxer shorts
