deguttling
n.— «Video footage (which, for those in offices, could probably be viewed on a site called something like Shouldn’t-you-be-getting-on-with-your-work?dotcom) reveals Tevez rubbing the back of his neck as Terry walks away, opening up speculation that the Chelsea captain left Tevez a “present.” Did Terry spit on Tevez? A source on The Observer sports desk believes there is a case to be made for (sensitive readers should avert their eyes now) Terry blowing mucus from his nose down the back of Tevez’s shirt, a dark art known in the trade as “deguttling.”» —“Hillary and Madge, leave the whining to the men” by Barbara Ellen The Observer (United Kingdom) May 25, 2008.
