Galloon
A galloon is actually quite boring. It's cross-woven braid used for binding dresses. I guess the tailors and seamsters among us will understand that. However, fortunately for us, there are invented meanings for galloon and they're all much more interesting than the real meaning - especially that written by our word imp Sonnjea B. Well done, Sonnjea. You're the winner on the poll today.

Galloon is an imperial measure of balloon size. Galloons are the largest balloons you can get for domestic. You get four normal size balloons to a galloon and eight long thin ones.
The French don't have galloons ever something to do with the revolution, the Montgolifier brothers and having to have every big unit divide into 100 smaller units.
It is the gal of you to call me a loon! Albiet I sometimes act like one LOL
Galloon is a large bird found mostly in the southern part of the US. Galloons are generally friendly in nature, unless of course they are touched on their extrememly large and extremely sensitive top feather.
A Galloon is a bird closely related to the Gallah. The Gallah is found mostly in Australia as is the Galloon. Where the Gallah's loud and insistent,squawking call can be heard for miles, the Galloons call is also very distinctive as it has a balloon like throat pouch that blows up when it is preparing to call, the noise that then comes out is very much like the sound of air rushing out of a balloon.
A Galloon was the name for a rowboat attached to the side of Spanish Galleons back in the day.
Galloon is a weapon used back in the acientdays before rifles were invented. A Galloon was thrown at someone and if it hit it caused great misery or death. A sack like object filled with poison and spikes and other things that caused discomfort.
A person who makes bungled attempts at chivalry is galloon, as opposed to the gallant chaps that manage chivalry with ease.
Sir Lancelot's younger brother Bruce, in an effort to impress not just the ladies but his big brother, somehow managed to poke himself in the eye during the jousting match. His heart was in the right place, but his galloon manner left him better suited to court jester than champion.
