PODGE, n. A jumble, hotch-potch, medley; a hurry, confusion, hurly-burly (Per. 1825 Jam.).Ayr. 1822 H. Ainslie Pilgrimage 71, 76:
Such a precious but unutterable podge of pleasant musings. . . . Ayr, too, is a neat, fair, little town; not one of those thick set podges of man and matter, in which one feels buried like a leaf in a forest.
