The spelling of the phrase "gat jollies" may seem strange, but it is actually a combination of two words: "gat" and "jollies." The word "gat" is slang for a handgun and is pronounced with a hard "g" sound, like "gat-tuh." "Jollies" is a term used for a feeling of enjoyment or excitement, pronounced like "jall-eez." So when combined, the phrase "gat jollies" means to derive pleasure from using a firearm. (IPA transcription: gæt ˈdʒɑliz)
