This is my first encounter with it. From life:

A. "That's enough to gag a maggot!"
B."[Strongly-negative reaction]!"
A. "What's the matter? Haven't you heard that before?"
B. "No! And I HOPE that I never hear it, again!!!"

A couple of dekkids later, he said that he didn't recall the exchange
and that the expression didn't bother him at all. In like manner, I
suppose that I'll eventually learn to live with _glitch_ as a verb.

Youneverknow.
