Origin:
Coined by a group of college friends in the late 20th century, “glungus” was used to describe That Guy™—you know, the one who tries to flirt and ends up breaking a chair or quoting
Star Wars at the wrong moment.
“You told her you liked her and then knocked over your drink? Glungus
move, man.”
“
Stop being such a glungus and just talk to her.”
“That glungus energy is off the charts
today.”
