gridge - a few years ago, someone on this forum typo'd the word grudge as gridge but everyone loved it so it stuck. it sounds like it should be a word, so now it is. it is a noun, verb, adjective, and adverb all rolled into one, usable in any sentence provided that you're talking about a grudge match of some sort.
"So I entered the 100 free in next week's meet. Any gridges out there?"
"You still owe me a beer from the last gridge!"
"Watch out for That Guy, he's always gridging people."
"She handed me a beer after the race. I asked why and it turns out that she had declared a secret gridge against me, but I won. So... if... she had won, she would have drank the beer herself, and I never would have known about it?"
How did it possibly take us until now to remember to put gridge in this thread? I blame myself.
