sirgang

(UK, dialect) The carrion crow.

Gorcrow is a British dialectal name for the carrion crow — the all-black crow common across Britain and Europe, known for feeding on carrion and other detritus. The 'gor-' element likely relates to gore (blood, entrails), fitting the bird's scavenging habits. A dialect term found mainly in older rural vocabulary, particularly in the West Country and parts of the Midlands. Largely obsolete in everyday speech, replaced by the standard 'carrion crow' or simply 'crow.'

(Indian English, dated) A subspecies of the black kite (), found in India, where it is a scavenger.

Indian informal term of address meaning 'sir', with the affectionate suffix '-ji' added for extra respect and warmth. In Hindi and South Asian English, '-ji' is a versatile honorific that softens or elevates any term it attaches to — so sirji lands somewhere between formal respect and friendly familiarity. You'll hear it in offices, schools, shops, and anywhere a junior wants to address a superior without sounding stiff. It's widely used across South Asia and in Indian English globally.

(India, obsolete) A kind of unplaited matting formed by laying the fine cylindrical culms from the upper part of the grass side by side, and binding them in single or double layers. It may be laid under the thatch of a house, used to cover carts and palanquins, to make table-mats, etc.
