Mangravy, Man Gravy, or Man-gravy?

The 18th annual Welcon was this weekend, the second one that I have been able to make. This is a weekend of gaming, friends, and food at the host's house.

On Friday I was privileged to play in a Star Wars miniatures battle system game, with and I quote, "No Stinking Plastic Figs". This is always a fun game to be in and this time was no exception. My team played the imperials and I think we killed as many Rebels (read terrorists - how many civilians did they kill in those movies?) as we killed our own troops for losing morale. Grossman is a hard commander to serve under.

On Saturday we resumed a WWII Champions game from 2 years ago. The fun part of Champions for me are the disadvantages. The hero I played is called Major Victory who has an under confidence disadvantage. There were a lot of laughs in that game including....

MAN-GRAVY

This was the word of the weekend. Credit for the word is given to Steve K. The question of one word or two and is it hyphenated came up and above I made that decision. Anyways the good man-gravy quotes of Saturday night were:

"I'm going to try and get out of the man-gravy but I am not sure I can do that"

"I have man-gravy stuck in this part of my brain and I can't get it out"

"If you get shot in the head with man-gravy you are bound to get some in your mouth"

And as an aside comment, none of the spellings of man-gravy came up as needing to be changed by spell checker, so maybe Steve didn't make that up....

What is man-gravy? When I hear it, I think of what they didn't clean off Monica's dress. That might work for the last 2 quotes, particularly the last one, but I don't think it would make sense for the first one.
