    Gollop is a large gulp of a drink, Usually drank quickly. old wording and not used to often anymore. And was some times also used for food.

    Ie, Gollop your breakfast down or you will be late for school. But havent heard it been used in years

    A guzzle is when a friend says " have a taste this new beer I've found" and you drink the whole pint without stopping

    Had heard of the term, 'Get the Gawks' Cork, circa 80s.

    What context would Goker be used?

    It's similar to a 'swally like a Lough Erne pike'.

    Is gollop not simply spelling what we know in the Irish as the guta cúnta, and in English as the epenthetic vowel or auxiliary vowel (e.g. writing 'film' as 'filum')?

    For instance, somebody called Colm being spelt Colum. In English, spelling gulp as gollop is strikingly similar to dolp being spelt dollop. However, the latter is now the accepted spelling of the original word 'dolp', which meant 'lump', while gulp rather than gollop would be the standardised version of that word.

    My partner calls me a fag when I'm not in the mood.

    Weird type of yoke.


    Truth be told I don't really fancy her anymore.


    She's a really good mum to our boy though, I would never deny that.


    Supermum.
