@reesetee: Sure, no one's disputing that either. Never said I'd coin a new word. It appeared in several other wordies months ago, but without proper definition.
just want to keep it in my memory (=wordie) :)

Msiii, no one's disputing that (I don't think). But I believe Walker was the first to coin a word for them. :-)

I thought it was a distant cousin to gravlox.

Maybe if you Latinised it as 'graulix, graulicis'...

Not according to the inventor of the word, Mort Walker. He called them grawlixes in the plural. :-)
