Glom

As a verb, can glom be used without a preposition? I don't think I've ever heard it used by itself.

Also, I had always thought of glom referring to attraction, as opposed to grabbing. My mental image of the word is a coalescing gravity, not a random snatch.

Hmm.

I'm all about glomming. I schedule my glom for Tuesday nites.

I thought WHORE was a random snatch.

QofS - YES! That is exactly what I was thinking, but I've never heard someone use it as such.

R - You win the door prize for nasty-thoughts. Congrats!

J - Who's WHORE? Does she know that you throw her name around so disparingingly?

I always thought it was just a good old verb on the order of "gank".
Example: Bitch was mad doggin' my Ho so I slapped his ass and ganked his chronic.
The other definition that I've gleaned from my wife's students is: To forcibley inject yourself into a group that clearly would not have you as a member by choice.
Example: Although he was vocally abusive of model rocket enthusiats, 'Clarence' made a point of glomming onto their group so that he could have "relations" with their sisters after he thought her parents were asleep, which they weren't.
No preposition neccessary. (unless you want to throw in an "over, under, around, or through". Three out of four of those would work.)
