Frog { Frequently filtshed from folks pocket}

Frog

Note: a rather dated and yet still quite unkind word for referring to a French person.

As in: "The policemen in Paris that he'd referred to as frogs banged his head on the doorframe twice as they bundled him into their patrol car."

Grog

Not sure what this is, but it’s a good word.
A giant frog maybe.

Gurgle

As in: "The police stenographer used the word gurgle several times in the transcript of the secret recording of the conspirators' conversation in the pub where what was actually said was indistinct."

Girdle

Note: using a girdle, as uncomfortable as it might be, can often be less of a struggle than going on a diet.

Griddle

Note: a griddle is the only means of cooking that many Scotsmen are ever seen using and, even then, it's only in films about rebels hiding in the wilderness during the Jacobite rising in the C18th.

Gaggle

Definition: aside from being a collective noun for geese, it is a disorderly or noisy group of people.

Note: the word's use has a condescending meaning when used to refer to a group of women, especially if they are not disorderly or noisy.

Grungle

Note: at present, this word is available for use by someone who likes to mint new vocabulary.

Edit: I stand corrected; how grungle of me not to have checked before posting the above.
