That is what an Aussie once told me that “gorp” was called in Australia.
My question is, is it true or was he pulling my leg? Might “scroggin” actually be a disgusting term referring to a portion of the human body?
And are there any other variations on the name gorp? What about the British Isles? (Cockneykayaker?) Is ther a French term? How about Canadian? Tonga?

When I was younger…

.. When I was younger, we used to call others a "Gorp" as a joking put-down. A gorp to us, was someone who passed gas in the bath tub, and poked the bubbles with his nose.
.. What else could a "Gorp" mean now-a-days? :)
Happy Paddling!
I think your definition is correct.
I have a friend from Mississippi living out here
in California. He’s 51 years old and still refers to it as “scroggin”, but my understanding
is that it requires two people.
People out here just laugh and consider the source, thinking it must be Mississippi mentality.

Forgot to mention,
he is full blooded Italian as well.
