Gold Illegally Mined

Probably a police report term originally, for gold purloined from a company workplace by miners, maintenance personnel, etc.

Here's an interesting short piece about the history of gold stealing in WA: https://www.leaverswa.com.au/Police/Crime/Gold-stealing

Gim

A Gim is a person who is very needy and is often involved in 'over taking' as opposed to being a person with a giving nature. They are the type of people who can often be referred to as 'moochers', expecting others to work hard so that THEY can reap the rewards!

Gims are greedy and often resort to an icy temperament when they don't get what they want. Gims are leeches, through and through.

If only one piece of bread remained that could feed 3 people, a gim would be the type of person to gobble that piece of bread up and deny that it ever existed.
