This was my first go at creating a daffynition and then, when they were posted, I was worried I had used more words than necessary... periphrasis like. The word YEGG was so like the word YUGG, I had to mix up the meaning. Yugg are really creatures in the fiction universe written about H. P. Lovecraft in Cthulhu Mythos and are the terrible, Worms of the Earth.

I heard him use the word, "yegg," to describe bad guys once in a while, never to specify a particular kind of bad guy. It was the only definition that seemed to fit. Sorry for the long hiatus on my part (but who among us would be really happy with a short hiatus?) - I've been involved up to my eyeballs in another computer project. Good job. all. Thanks.
