Gill \Gill\, n. [Dan. gi[91]lle, gelle; akin to Sw. g[84]l,       Icel. gj[94]lnar gills; cf. AS. geagl, geahl, jaw.]       1. (Anat.) An organ for aquatic respiration; a branchia.                         Fishes perform respiration under water by the gills.                                                                               --Ray.          Note: Gills are usually lamellar or filamentous appendages,                through which the blood circulates, and in which it is                exposed to the action of the air contained in the                water. In vertebrates they are appendages of the                visceral arches on either side of the neck. In                invertebrates they occupy various situations.          2. pl. (Bot.) The radiating, gill-shaped plates forming the             under surface of a mushroom.          3. (Zo[94]l.) The fleshy flap that hangs below the beak of a             fowl; a wattle.          4. The flesh under or about the chin. --Swift.          5. (Spinning) One of the combs of closely ranged steel pins             which divide the ribbons of flax fiber or wool into fewer             parallel filaments. [Prob. so called from F. aiguilles,             needles. --Ure.]          {Gill arches}, {Gill bars}. (Anat.) Same as {Branchial             arches}.          {Gill clefts}. (Anat.) Same as {Branchial clefts}. See under             {Branchial}.          {Gill cover}, {Gill lid}. See {Operculum}.          {Gill frame}, [or] {Gill head} (Flax Manuf.), a spreader; a             machine for subjecting flax to the action of gills.             --Knight.          {Gill net}, a flat net so suspended in the water that its             meshes allow the heads of fish to pass, but catch in the             gills when they seek to extricate themselves.          {Gill opening}, [or] {Gill slit} (Anat.), an opening behind             and below the head of most fishes, and some amphibians, by             which the water from the gills is discharged. In most             fishes there is a single opening on each side, but in the             sharks and rays there are five, or more, on each side.          {Gill rakes}, [or] {Gill rakers} (Anat.), horny filaments, or             progresses, on the inside of the branchial arches of             fishes, which help to prevent solid substances from being             carried into gill cavities.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
glark /glark/ vt.   To figure something out from context.   "The    System III manuals are pretty poor, but you can generally glark the    meaning from context."   Interestingly, the word was originally    `glork'; the context was "This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish    English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked [sic]    from context" (David Moser, quoted by Douglas Hofstadter in his    "Metamagical Themas" column in the January 1981 "Scientific    American").   It is conjectured that hacker usage mutated the verb to    `glark' because {glork} was already an established jargon term (some    hackers do report using the original term).   Compare {grok}, {zen}.
