In French au gratin is a cheese-topped dish. If you cook something au gratin, you cover it with sauce, top it with cheese (or sometimes breadcrumbs) and brown it under the grill or in the oven. A huge variety of savoury dishes can be cooked au gratin; the most common are vegetable dishes.
Au Gratin
-Boil or steam vegetables (broccoli is a good choice) until just tender and put in a gratin dish (a low-sided oven-proof dish).
-Make a sauce by blending 1oz (25g) flour with 1oz butter over a low heat, slowly adding half a pint (300 ml) of milk and stirring continuously (increase the heat to thicken) till the sauce is thick and creamy. Add grated cheese, French mustard or whatever flavouring you want, and melt in.
-Pour the sauce over the vegetables, grate over enough strong cheese to cover (Cheddar or Lancashire, for instance) and cook under a grill for 5-10 minutes until golden, or 20 mins in the oven at 200 degrees.

Get the Au Gratin mug.The act of biting down softly while giving head, so the teeth are gently scraping the wang. Not meant to shock the male, but just to startle him enough to make him pay attention and not start thinking of something else while he is sitting back.
Bro 1: "Yo brosef! I heard you got some last night from that girl at the bar! How was she?"
Bro 2: "Well it was going pretty good. She was suckin' on my thang and I was just sitting there thinking about lax and stuff, when she started cheese grating me out of nowhere. It was kind of weird, but pretty rad at the same time.

Get the Gratin’ Cheese mug.A rancid, steaming, liquidy fecal secretion that occurs in the middle of the night, while you are asleep, after you eat a number of raw potatoes on a drunken bet. Said secretion smells like a combination of idaho spuds, raw sewage, and shame. Liquid au gratin is best enjoyed with friends, as you invite them to witness, and smell, your stench filled, mattress-goodness.
Did you get a whiff of Berko's "liquid au gratin"? The smell is nearly as disgusting as what it did to his sheets!
