Definition
Third person singular present tense of gargle; swishes a liquid around in the throat without swallowing it.
Etymology
From Old French gargouille (throat, gurgling), imitative of the sound made when liquid moves through the throat.
Kelly Says
Gargles is a verb that sounds like the action it describes—when you say it, your throat vibrates slightly, almost mimicking the actual gargling motion!
