glutch (GLUHCH) - v., to swallow. n., a mouthful.


A dialect word of Southwestern England, but also in use in Newfoundland (keep your Newfie jokes to yourself, 'k?) and the works of Thomas Hardy (he's fair game, tho'). Unknown origin, first recorded in the early 1800s. Not to be confused with a gulch, which we have enough of around here.
