In the southern united states, particularly in the NC mountains (I have also heard its use in the military there) this term is a noun used to describe objects which have been cobbled together or rigged up with duct tape and bubble gum. "Its a gom." I have not seen it is writing but have heard it frequently on construction sites.

Dutch meaning of "eraser"[edit]

Hi @Lingo Bingo Dingo, "gom" is still the prevalent spelling in Flanders, so it should not be marked "dated". M!dgard (talk) 17:56, 30 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

All right, but that is not a reason to detemplatise the definition line. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 20:29, 30 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
