Gak
An exclamation of disgust or disapproval. Similar to ack!, gak! can
mean a number of things, mostly in the negative connotation. Also, a
sound that signifies the desire of the person to throw up.
A children's toy. Launched in the summer of 1992 by Mattel, it is a
nasty goo of various colors, of unknown composition and unlimited
allure to little kids. Scientists suspect a water-based mixture of
acrylic and silicone. Bouncy and stretchy, Mattel made a fortune off
the stuff, putting it in the ranks of Silly Putty and Slime.
An album by Aphex Twin. It contains four songs, Gak 1 to Gak 4, and is
purely instrumental. They all have hard-driving beats and a very
hypnotic rhythm. Panned by critics, it is nonetheless a good addition
to the collection of any Aphex Twin fan. Gak 1 has an extremely
interesting piano part, but my favorite is definitely Gak 4. Highly
recommended music.

Gak is also used to describe sauces, toppings, or other foods that
smell, taste, or feel odd.
Sweet pink gak is a fluorescent pink, excruciatingly sweet, gelatinous
sauce served in not-so-good Chinese restaurants with such things as
chicken balls. Once cooled, it solidifies into a semi-transluscent
blob which cannot be restored to a smooth consistency through
reheating, even with a whisk.
Brown gak is an apt description for tasteless brown gravies with an
unappetizing hue and a consistency that makes one wonder if they were
perhaps thickened with powdered chalk. I have found these most readily
available from inexperienced vegetarians who are puzzling out the
relation****p between whole wheat flour and Tamari sauce, but many
restaurants also have a predilection for them.
Cheese gak is a tasteless cheese sauce made from a roux and processed
cheese, somewhat thicker than, but reminiscent of, LePage's school
glue mixed with melted orange crayons.
Icing gak is found in and on cakes and pastries, usually in alarmingly
bright colours. Some forms of icing gak will not dissolve in extremely
hot water.
Donut gak Is the "cream" filling found in yeast doughnuts, in a range
of flourescent colours, composed of a whipped Crisco-like substance
sometimes called "Heavenly White" mixed with food colouring and
artificial flavours.
Bean gak is best made by blending overcooked red beans, creating a
pinkish-brown paste that sticks to the roof of your mouth.
Gak foods tend to be very hard on the digestive system and are best
eaten in moderation or, better yet, not at all.
Note: This write-up will be updated with new and wondrous forms of gak
as I encounter them.
I prefere the, "a sound that signifies the desire of the person to
throw up"
