gound

This word's gotta be related to gunge...maybe? Used it a lot in my surfing days.

also known as bed-boogers, eye-snot, or sleepies.
Medically described as 'mucopurulent discharge'.

AAAAAGH! Time travel!

As a matter of fact, that Daniel is none other than... someone else! Ain't that a coinkydink?

But wait! More info at this blog!

I wonder whether Daniel's a Wordie. Wait...Daniel? Are you here? *looking around suspiciously*

I think somewhere around here is when I made this list.

Googling For Stupidity! The next Olympic event. ;-)

By the way, and my favorite result was "Wedding Gound Pictures." How hard is it to spell gown?

I hope so too, cb--but apparently in olden times it was spelled "gund," which doesn't look promising for the "zounds" pronunciation. And M-W isn't talking unless I pay up, the bastard.

One amusing aside--run a Google search on this and you'll find every poor sucker who misspelled "ground." Amazing. "Gound-level ozone." "UPS Gound!" "Higher Gound." "Above-gound pools!"

Eew. Eye stuff all over the place.

I think (nay, hope) it rhymes with ZOUNDS!.

You guys are freaking me out.

Hey, I looked this up to get the pronunciation? And it says "foul matter, especially that secreted by the eyes." Wow! *Any* foul matter?! Like... Specific Excrement ???
Also, since it's considered obsolete, there's no pronunciation listed. :(

Yarb: Nope. Just doesn't do the job. It has to be gound.

Yes. Yes, it did, c_b. Methinks I spy a brand-new Wordie going berserk defining words. Welcome, thedayhascome. :-)

What about sleepy dust?

I think that's how this conversation started, actually.

/GOWND/ n · The crusty yellow substance that collects in the corners of one's eye while one sleeps.

No, seriously.
