Pilgarlic

Tune: Pilgarlic
According to the Phronistery (a dictionary of obscure words) a pilgarlick is a “poor wretch; self-pitying person,“ although it could also refer to a bald-headed man (from the supposed resemblance between a bald head and peeled garlic – “pilled garlic,” in British dialect. The verb “pill” comes in part from the Old English pilian–“to peel”).
