Word origin

Uncertain, but said to derive from slime and Scots gullion (“swamp; cesspool”). Attested from the late nineteenth century in reference to a watery beverage (see quotation below). Compare Irish góilín (“a creek; a small inlet”).

Used in a sentence

  • “Say...if anybody cares, this vat of slumgullion is as ready as it will ever be.”
  • The slide received its name from a seafaring man who was reminded of slumgullion, the yellow residue from the blubber of a butchered whale.
