gavulate

To give the appearance of being adamant or decisive, while really having no intention to "make good" on one's promises (or threats). Derived from the tradition of the jurisprudent's gavel in US courts, which is used in television dramas to silence a querulous courtroom -- the gavel, despite conveying the image of power and authority, has in itself no inherent power (and so often proves insufficient at restoring "order in the court" amidst the outbursts of some headstrong witness or defendant). Because the gesture is itself only performative, it relies entirely upon the fear and awe of the hearer in order to retain its power.

"Coach will always gavulate about the importance of 'fundamentals' in basketball. But let a 6'11" kid show up to tryouts and it won't matter whether he can even dribble a ball."

grubulate

Verb: It is the act of eating, usually large quantities of unhealthy snacks or junk food, but nevertheless the food will satisfy the hunger urge. One typically will grubulate in preparation for an event (ie partying, video game binge, movie night, road trips), or one will frequently grubulate late at night when they have skipped lunch and/or dinner. Grubulate is not to be confused with "the munchies," because it is self-induced. Comes from the urban jargon root: grub, meaning food.

I'm going to go grubulate at Big Kahuna Burger before I go bar hopping.

In order for us to stay up all night playing video games we need to grubulate tons of convenient store food

I was so busy studying for that psychopharmacology exam I didn't eat all day, so I'm going to go grubulate at that 24hour Mexican drive-thru

"oh no, He's just globulating. I think I want to globulate also."
