#2: Slubberdegullion

Horrifying hoarders! Transcendental experiences! Neighborhood ruffians! Weird sexy things we only know about thanks to Cards Against Humanity!  The Cru tackle all of these topics and more on this week's episode.     From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: Slubberdegullion: A base fellow; a nasty oaf. 'To slubber' is to do things carelessly, in a slovenly way, and 'degullion' is a fanciful addition, 'gullion' perhaps being a variant of 'cullion,' a base fellow.Quoth she, Although thou hast deserved,Base-slubber degullion, to be servedAs thou didst vow to deal with me.SAMUEL BUTLER: Hudibras, I, iii (1662)Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
