prettygoodwordTheme week! --- obsolete words:
groak (GROHK) - v., to stare silently at someone who is eating in hopes of getting food.
Also a noun, one who does this. The silent part is key: no explicit begging, just watching. Perhaps with a hopeful expression or even round eyes, but nothing that can construed as a direct request. Origin unknown, not surprisingly for slang.
