At the pub tonight a friend and I wondered: Exactly which body part does the term “gams” refer to? Do they always come in pairs? Is it the individuals gams or the set as a whole that qualify them as “a nice set of gams?” Are they limited only to broads? Do they even make them anymore?
I ask because I’ve always liked eating gizzards, but during a conversation the other day I had to confess I don’t know what they are either. But when someone mentioned that they have little teeth, I decided I don’t like to eat them anymore.
Gams = legs, especially the lower part of the legs. Technically both genders have gams but the term is only applied to women, by men, since we’re the ones obsessed enough to develop a whole lingo around the subject.
Gizzards are specialized neck organs found in certain species of poultry and reptiles. A gizzard is used to grind food to aid in digestion by animals that lack chewing-enabled teeth. Some species have small protrusions on the interior of the gizzard to help break down food (the “little teeth” your friend mentioned), while others swallow stones and other small, hard objects to do the crushing for them. After food has sat in the gizzard for some time and been sufficiently broken down, it is swallowed down into the gut and digested.
I will apparently do _anything_ to avoid work today. . .
yea … that’s …. disgusting
Well, that explains the interesting texture…
