Talk:Glory hole (disambiguation)

Time to split the article?

It think it's time to break this article into parts and set up a disambiguation page. There are three separate uses, and each is widely divergent enough that I don't think they belong together anymore. Also, I think the history of the phrase probably goes farther back in glassblowing than the gold rush, but haven't researched that yet.

Please advise me of any objections. --Un focused 20:34, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

dam

"a glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the resevoir."

Scots versus British

Why was the paragraph about Scots usage changed to say it is informal British? My wife who has a Scots background says it was in use in her household in the 60s while I have never heard of it, I'm English from the south. Kwhitefoot (talk) 18:15, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other uses?

glory hole is also a term for the heated chambers used by glassblowers to melt the glass. 86.92.89.111 (talk) 18:15, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
