How do you pronounce "glurge"?

[Qadgop_the_Mercotan]

glerdge? glurg? gler-gee? glur-ghee? A little help, please.

[screech-owl]

I use and have heard “glurdj” - (‘jay’ sound).
Sounds similar to ‘gurge’ - a whirlpool

glur-jy - (adjectival form)

Kinda like “surge”, isn’t it?

[KneadToKnow]

Yeah, I’ve always pronounced it to rhyme with surge. With a little twist of lemon. You’ll like it.

[Qadgop_the_Mercotan]

Thanks. I will now attempt to introduce the term into my everyday life!

What is “glurge”?

[Kamandi]

From Snopes:

What is glurge? Think of it as chicken soup with several cups of sugar mixed in: It’s supposed to be a method of delivering a remedy for what ails you by adding sweetening to make the cure more appealing, but the result is more often a sickly-sweet concoction that induces hyperglycemic fits.

In ordinary language, glurge is the sending of inspirational (often supposedly “true”) tales that conceal much darker meanings than the uplifting moral lessons they purport to offer, and that undermine their messages by fabricating and distorting historical fact in the guise of offering a “true story.”

Here ya go. Bring a dose of insulin.

No no no! Not a twist of lemon. You take glurge with a grain of salt.

Or tell the sender to pound salt.
