Sam's Word of the Week - Monday 16th May, 2005
Gargle (v)
The art of tilting the head back, holding a liquid towards the back of the mouth and breathing air through the liquid to create a sound similar to “urrghlhhrlughlhurgghh”. This sound is often used to make those penguin impressions that so attract the ladies, not to mention the other penguins. Olympic swimmers, shooters and ping-pongers are infamous for gargling for at least fourteen minutes straight as a warm-up routine before their respective events. A rapid increase in gargling has occurred recently in Australia due to a number of All Bran eaters realising after they had eaten their cereal, that there was an image of Derryn Hinch on the front of the cereal box. These people have also become world record holders, travelling at the speed of sound to try and get as close to a nearby sink as quickly as possible. Recent studies have discovered the average human would need to gargle something as strong as paint to get rid of the aftertaste of the turnip chip.

Sometimes the beauty of the world is so overwhelming, I just want to throw back my head and gargle. Just gargle and gargle, and I don't care who hears me, because I am beautiful.

A joke about gargling?! thought id share.. ! luv jac xoxo
Heya Sam!!
Gargle is also a very good word, but I think I it needs to be pronouced with a long "ar" (phonics were fun!) sound, so that it does actually sound like the sound one creates when one does gargle. (Follow that?)
A word of advice: don't gargle a hot water & lemon drink (for a sore throat - it works wonders - it will give you a voice for atleast an hour - that's long enough to lead kids singing at camp!!) when you have just had a hot (or cold) milo... Cos the acid in the lemon makes the milk curdle, and it just isn't good...
Anyway... I probably should get back to work...
Kylie. (Just incase I forget my sign-in again and it comes up as anonymous)(I think I know what my sign-in is... We'll see...)
