<b>Posted on:</b> 02:25, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
</p><p><b>Arguments for:</b>
</p>
<ol><li>The Epic of Gilgamesh is often assigned to high school students learning either world history or ancient literature. The fact that Gilgamesh is a funny word leads many people to get it stuck in their head for years, which is why this is likely.
</li></ol>
<p><b>Arguments against:</b>
</p>
<ol><li>Giglamesh is completely irrelevant to what Strong Bad is saying. It's probably just a portmanteau of "gargle" and "mesh." References tend to have at least some coherence to what's happening in the toon.
</li></ol>
<p><b>Additional comments:</b>
</p>
<ul><li>Gilgamesh was my first thought when I saw this part.
<ul><li>The first thing you thought of is completely irrelevant. The argument is whether or not TBC intended it as a reference.
</li></ul>
</li><li>The "ancient king of Uruk" part can be removed.
</li><li>I don't think it's necessarily a portmanteau of anything in particular.
</li></ul>

<div style="background:#FFF5EE; padding:6px; border-color:#CCCCCC;border-style:solid; border-width:1px">The word "garglemesh" is a <a href="/index.php?title=Portmanteaus" title="Portmanteaus">portmanteau</a> of "gargle" and "mesh".</div>
<p><b>Arguments for:</b>
</p>
<ol><li>It's more likely this than some ancient king the Chappos might've never heard of. It fits way better into the context.
</li></ol>
<p><b>Arguments against:</b>
</p>
<ol><li>It could also be a garbled mess of "garbled mess".
</li><li>If we cannot decide for certain 1)If it is a portmanteau or <a href="/index.php?title=Malapropisms" title="Malapropisms">malapropism</a> or something else and 2)What is is a portmanteau/malapropism of, than it should not be mentioned at all.
</li></ol>
<p><b>Additional comments:</b>
</p>
<ul><li>Well, the whole Giglamesh thing just doesn't make any sense. If nobody can agree on what it actually is supposed to be, maybe it's not worth mentioning.
<ul><li>It could be a <a href="/index.php?title=Malapropisms" title="Malapropisms">malapropism</a> of "garbledmess" which is a portmanteau of "garbled" and "mess", but that may just be taking it too far.
<ul><li>I don't think it's necessarily a portmanteau or malapropism of anything in particular.
<ul><li>The more I look at it, the more it seems unnecessary to include it in the article at all. There's no way to tell if it's actually a reference to or portmanteau of anything in particular, and vague speculation (which this is fast becoming) doesn't belong in the article.

GIGGLY GIGGLY GIGGLY GIGGLY MESH-ED!!!!!!

The word "garglemesh" is a portmanteau of the word "gargle" and the name of Gilgamesh, an ancient king of Uruk.

From: the paper
Posted on: 02:25, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  1. The Epic of Gilgamesh is often assigned to high school students learning either world history or ancient literature. The fact that Gilgamesh is a funny word leads many people to get it stuck in their head for years, which is why this is likely.

Arguments against:

  1. Giglamesh is completely irrelevant to what Strong Bad is saying. It's probably just a portmanteau of "gargle" and "mesh." References tend to have at least some coherence to what's happening in the toon.

Additional comments:

  • Gilgamesh was my first thought when I saw this part.
    • The first thing you thought of is completely irrelevant. The argument is whether or not TBC intended it as a reference.
  • The "ancient king of Uruk" part can be removed.
  • I don't think it's necessarily a portmanteau of anything in particular.

Proposed revision:

The word "garglemesh" is a portmanteau of "gargle" and "mesh".

Arguments for:

  1. It's more likely this than some ancient king the Chappos might've never heard of. It fits way better into the context.

Arguments against:

  1. It could also be a garbled mess of "garbled mess".
  2. If we cannot decide for certain 1)If it is a portmanteau or malapropism or something else and 2)What is is a portmanteau/malapropism of, than it should not be mentioned at all.

Additional comments:

  • Well, the whole Giglamesh thing just doesn't make any sense. If nobody can agree on what it actually is supposed to be, maybe it's not worth mentioning.
    • It could be a malapropism of "garbledmess" which is a portmanteau of "garbled" and "mess", but that may just be taking it too far.
      • I don't think it's necessarily a portmanteau or malapropism of anything in particular.
        • The more I look at it, the more it seems unnecessary to include it in the article at all. There's no way to tell if it's actually a reference to or portmanteau of anything in particular, and vague speculation (which this is fast becoming) doesn't belong in the article.
