Posted August 18, 2007. My wife is telling me that I now occasionally yell in my sleep. Once I was yelling OW! repeatedly, and once she couldn't make out what I was saying. After waking up I do not remember any dreams that it could be related to.
For other uses, see Gimme (disambiguation). In golf, a gimme is a shot that the other players agree can count automatically without being played. When a player has only a very short putt left to play, other players may grant a gimme (i.e., one stroke is counted), but the ball is not played. A gimme is a time-saving convention under the tacit assumption that the putt would not have been missed, e.g., when the ball is only a few inches from the hole.
1 Putty is a generic term for a plastic material similar in texture to clay or dough typically used in domestic construction and repair as a sealant or filler. 2  Painter's Putty is typically a linseed oil based product used for filling holes, minor cracks and defacements in wood only. The name putty is also applied to substances resembling putty, such as iron putty, a mixture of ferric oxide and linseed oil; and red-lead putty, a mixture of red and white lead and linseed oil. 2  Certain doughlike plastics are also called putty. 3  Putty powder (tin oxide) is used in polishing glass, granite, and metal.
