I've come across more odd G-words today...
Have you ever heard the radio commercials for Corona, where the legalese guy comes on at the very end and says very quickly that it's "imported by the Gambrinus Company, San Antonio, Texas"? Well, I ran across that name today, in looking up another word... did you know that the word "" gambrinous means "full of beer" (after Gambrinus of Brabant, the semi-mythical Flemish king who reputedly invented hopped beer)? ^_^
And a couple of others, for your delectation and delight... I think "gallimaufry" is a simply galumptious word, don't you?
