Galley.  Building the galley; a game formerly used at
  sea, in order to put a trick upon a landsman, or fresh-
  water sailor.  It being agreed to play at that game, one
  sailor personates the builder, and another the merchant or
  contractor:  the builder first begins by laying the keel,
  which consists of a number of men laid all along on their
  backs, one after another, that is, head to foot; he next
  puts in the ribs or knees, by making a number of men sit
  feet to feet, at right angles to, and on each side of, the
  keel:  he now fixing on the person intended to be the object
  of the joke, observes he is a fierce-looking fellow,
  and fit for the lion; he accordingly places him at the head,
  his arms being held or locked in by the two persons next
  to him, representing the ribs.  After several other
  dispositions, the builder delivers over the galley to the
  contractor as complete:  but he, among other faults and
  objections, observes the lion is not gilt, on which the builder
  or one of his assistants, runs to the head, and dipping a
  mop in the excrement, thrusts it into the face of the lion.

Galley foist. A city barge, used formerly on the lord
  mayor’s day, when he was sworn in at Westminster.

Gallied. Hurried, vexed, over-fatigued, perhaps like a
  galley slave.

GALLORE, or GOLORE.  Plenty.

Galloper.  A blood horse.  A hunter.  The toby gill clapped his
  bleeders to his galloper and tipped the straps the
  double.  The highwayman spurred his horse and got
  away from the officers.

  associates with them.

Games.  Thin, ill-shapped legs:  a corruption of the French
  word jambes.  Fancy gambs; sore or swelled legs.

GAMBADOES.  Leathern cases of stiff leather, used in
  Devonshire instead of boots; they are fastened to the saddle,
  and admit the leg, shoe and all:  the .name was at first
  jocularly given.

Game.  Any mode of robbing.  The toby is now a queer
  game; to rob on the highway is now a bad mode of
  acting.  This observation is frequently made by thieves;
  the roads being now so well guarded by the horse patrole;
  and gentlemen travel with little cash in their pockets.

Game.  Bubbles or pigeons drawn in to be cheated.  Also,
  at bawdy-houses, lewd women.  Mother have you any
  game; mother, have you any girls?  To die game; to
  suffer at the gallows without shewing any signs of fear or
  repentance.  Game pullet; a young whore, or forward
  girl in the way of becoming one.
