Re: a few questions that have been on our minds over the years
Back to what Mrs. Marsh said - last night we had "Scarlet Clue" on, and as I wasn't totally "watching" it, but it was on in the background, I guess I heard "gloop" in another way. It almost sounded like she said "galoot", which is an oaf, or a clumsy person.
On the other hand, I decided to play my DVD with subtitles, and sure enough the subtitles read "gloop". So now what do I think? I looked up gloop in the dictionary, but I don't know if that helped me any. Gloop is a vicous, sticky substance. My "Chambers" definition of gloop AS A NOUN is: "thick viscous liquid, esp. a glob, splodge or slow drip or dribble of such; sentimentality, mush or pulp".
