mkb commented on the word gug
I meant to type "huh" into the IRC channel at work a couple years ago and gug is what came out. I'd probably have forgotten, but JT repeated it and the newly coined word lodged in my head. Urban Dictionary and HP Lovecraft seem to have existing meanings, but I reject them. There is no meaning, only Zul.
