gammon
Cured pork haunch
Gammon is cured or smoked ham, typically from the hind leg of a pig, popular in British cooking and often served in thick slices.
In backgammon, a gammon is a victory where the losing player hasn't removed any pieces from the board.
British slang has added a newer meaning: gammon describes a red-faced, middle-aged white man perceived as holding reactionary political views, the ruddy complexion suggesting both anger and heavy drinking.
The comments section was full of gammons complaining about immigration.
