  David Parlett on Gleek
A gleek of Aces is paid by each opponent 4p, of Kings 3p, of Queens 2p, and of Jacks 1p, and these amounts are doubled for a mournival.
It is unclear whether (a) everyone is paid for every gleek or mournival they declare, or (b) only the player holding the highest mournival (or gleek, if none) is paid for it, and, if so, whether that person is paid for any other gleeks and mournivals they may declare (as at Piquet).
A Gleek of Aces is four, of Kings three; of Queens two, and a Gleek of Knaves one apiece from the other two Gamesters.

  Gleek (Super Friends) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gleek is a blue monkey, the pet of Zan and Jayna, the Wonder Twins in the animated series Super Friends.
Gleek was often used as comic relief for the series, as he often got into mischief; however, many viewers found his antics annoying and felt he detracted from the series.

 "gleek" definition from Double-Tongued Dictionary
Editorial Note: This is not the same as the Shakespearean gleek which means ‘to trick; to make a gibe or jest (at a person).’ There is a similar word, gleet, ‘to discharge pus (from the body); to ooze,’ but it is not in current usage and there appears to be no provable connection with gleek.
“Gleek” is also the name of the blue space monkey from a 1977-1978 Superfriends cartoon on ABC, who had a penchant, when excited, to spout monkey-spit from his tongue, which is where I’d always understood the term to come from, as did my peers.
i was given the name gleek by a friend of mine, goink, about 7 years ago and then it was a name mainly used for the blue monkey on superfriends.

 A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment. -Willis Player
What is the origination of the word "gleek?" It seems like such a strange word to describe spit flying from your mouth.
'Gleek' (meaning flying saliva) comes into the langauge at the same time, roughly, as 'gleek; (a card game) so I'm going to go waaaay out on this incredibly solid foundation of one semester of historical-comparative linguistics (and one TAing it!) and say that they may very well be related.
It makes significantly more sense to me that a word would appear in the language and divide into two meanings (one with a metaphorical or idiomatic connection to the other) than that a single phonetic form would be simultaneously introduced with no relation in origin or meaning.
