Meanings
-
(countable, uncountable) A type of paper that is impermeable to oil or grease, used in cooking or food packaging.
In the 1920s, the golly was used as a trademark for Robertson's Marmalade, and a little cut-out paper figure was popped into the stone jars between a circle of greaseproof paper and the lid.
