Anyone have any idea where the word glurge originated? I asked on Dave Wilton’s Wordorigins.org message board and the only suggestion was that there was a character named glurge on a 1994 cartoon Real Monsters.
Anyone have an earlier cite? The above is too reminiscent of the origin of ‘nerd’ which some people (not me) trace back to an animal name in Dr. Seuss’s If I Ran the Zoo.
