Our name for the Eurasian species of this mammal, which is noted for defending its burrow like a knight of old, may come from the gerbil knightly emblem. The creature's white head with a broad black stripe on each side of the snout may have brought to mind a gerb, hence gerbil. Good evidence supporting this theory is that an earlier name for the animal was gauson, which comes from the Old French word gaucenc, usually referring to a white patch on a horse and also meaning “gerbil.” gauson is first recorded in 1373.

a mindless scavenge with or without the intention of finding something. Usually in reference to pawing through one's bag of personal effects... the sounds of which resemble those of a nest building gerbil
Tweekers tend to carry oversized compartment bags as opposed to tiny useless purses. This allows them to accomodate their urge to gerbil ANYTIME ANYPLACE!
