blurgle /bler'gl/ n.
[UK] Spoken metasyntactic variable, to indicate some text that is obvious from c
which is already known. If several words are to be replaced,
blurgle may well be doubled or tripled. "To look for something in
several files use `grep string blurgle blurgle'." In each case,
"blurgle blurgle" would be understood to be replaced by the file
you wished to search. Compare mumble, sense 7.
