Gaveloches Definition

A term commonly used to describe a combination of a gavel (a small mallet used by judges or meeting leaders to call for order or make formal rulings) and the word 'loch' (pl. lochs) from Scottish Gaelic, often humorously applied to small stores or businesses, mimicking the unofficial 'Glenrothes' which combined 'Glenn,' meaning grove or glen, and 'rothes,' meaning stores, in reference to a town in Fife, Scotland, known for its shops and stores.
