gambrinous

Is this one of those fun words found only in dictionaries? It isn't in the Compact OED, nor can I find any use citations online, although I find the word listed in many dictionaries and mentioned in lots of books about obscure words. Can we cite either sense, or must this be marked as "dictionary-only"? --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

One hit for gambrinously: "They would stagger gambrinously home at midnight, the sound of the winning side's song ringing in their ears..." Not sure if this is a use or a mention - could well be both. Smurrayinchester (talk) 12:55, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
