Definition: Glom
There was some controversy this Friday when I used the word "glom" in a sentence. I've taken it upon myself to define it for everybody.
glom: (verb) 1. to hold onto something for an unwaranted or what is percieved as an unwaranted period of time; 2. to assert ownership something for which you have no actual right
see also: glomming: the act of holding onto something for an unwaranted amount of time
glommed: to have held on to something for an unwaranted amount of time
"I let him use it once but he started to glom it, now I'll never let him play with my Playschool Segway ever again."
