Frog

Note: a rather dated and yet still quite unkind word for referring to a French person.

Note: a synonym for "grog".

As in: "The police stenographer used the word gurgle several times in the transcript of the secret recording of the conspirators' conversation in the pub where what was actually said was indistinct."


G

Girdle

Note: using a girdle, as uncomfortable as it might be, can often be less of a struggle than going on a diet.

Note: a griddle is the only means of cooking that many Scotsmen are ever seen using and, even then, it's only in films about rebels hiding in the wilderness during the Jacobite rising in the C18th.

G

Gaggle

Definition: aside from being a collective noun for geese, it is a disorderly or noisy group of people.

Note: the word's use has a condescending meaning when used to refer to a group of women, especially if they are not disorderly or noisy.


G

Goose

Note: many people wouldn't say boo to one.
