The title is a one of many puns in this zine, and has nothing to do with actual Gorns.
From "Slice of Life":
It was the best of dreams, itwas the wurst of dreams. If you've ever gone to bed absolutely ravenous for the fourth night in a row, well, you'll know that I'm not talking through my hat. Mind you, by Sam I'd have considered eating a hat if only I'd got one lying around the plaice. I'd been tossing around ever since my head hit the pullao. Since McCoy started starving me I've been driven to the Limmit. I can't stop thinking about food and I can't stop talking about it, even when I don't mean to, and it's driving me nuts. This must be what drug addicts feel like when they're doing cold turkey. Oh God, it's happening again...
