Jilli, you do know how to make a workplace interesting.
That's me, everyone's zany co-worker down the hall. With a croquet mallet.
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

I just found out something myself. Wikipedia claims that the word "hosey" is a local word for me.
We used this all the time (in my family with 7 siblings) to claim a chair that we were temporarily departing. Of course, they said the entimology was MA and ME, so it's appropos.
Now I've got see if Wikipedia has "gormy", "goarmy" or "gormey".

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I've said some pretty hateful things, too, when I've been very sick. And then immediately regretted it.
So, you know, benefit of the doubt. The Golden Globes outburst was so weird, it makes me wonder about whether he's batshit.
I mean, I'm batshit, too, when I'm not medicated.

So who'll play you in the sitcom?

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, that's true, Nilly. But it'll still be hard to explain if I start yelling Old West insults across the room in public.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
In a podcast recently one of the gossipers from TV Guide implied that lots of things were done for Isiah after the first outburst. If there's a second after all that, it's Time To Go.

Well, sure. Even if he is batshit crazy, reasonable accommodation stops where I start. Abuse isn't part of the deal.

Hey, Corwood! How are you and yours doing?
We're great! How's things with you? Sounds like the studying has you tired-out.
And I like the mushiness! Even if it's accompanied by weariness or paint-peeling profanity.

No gormy (or however it's spelt - it means unweildy).
But they do have this:
Italian sandwich: (ME) submarine sandwich.
which I grew up with. And this
shmunk: forshortened term for a Chipmunk.
which I didn't, but adore now that I've read it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The second outburst really caught my attention--I understand bigotry way better than I understand blatant disregard for the truth in fucking public.
Hec, I'm with Matt. Dude. Tunguska.
