Gunk & Other Objects Found at the End of the Wash Day

A couple of weeks ago I was describing the consistency of some "stuff" i scraped out of one of the dryers I was cleaning. It was "gunky"--no other word aptly describes it. I was quickly reminded by another patron that that was a 70's term--possibly even a 60's term. H-m-m-m-m 


 So, I ran over to the laptop & pulled up the Urban Dictionary to verify for myself.  The description was there with 2 spellings but no history of when the word entered mainstream usage.  It's never really gone out of style in my vocabulary.


Hey, Ridonkulous--my daughter's favorite description of things I do!
