gooch cube

Possibly originating from one Harriet Whiting via her diary circa 1945. The entry containing the term - like most of her writings - is littered with ill-applied mechanics, making it notably difficult to discern at times. Because of this, certain phrasing within the entry gave rise to the mystery of the "gooch cube," where Will Gooch - a man mentioned plenty throughout the diary, his surname but once - is described to have "...cubed the cattle," with the help of another man, Van Epps. Mr. Gooch's enigma of a surname combined with the odd phrasing of "cubing the cattle" (later substituted with "caking") gave rise to the term with "gooch" already being slang for a man's taint as of roughly 2003 ("gooch" as a noun being the gender-swapped counterpart of "cooch," a guy-cooch). To many, this origin is completely unknown and instead exists as a nonsensical term within GIFs subtitled "gooch cube" in generic Sans Serif font - though Whiting's diary is indeed its oldest documentation. To clarify, to "cube" or to "cake" cattle is to feed them densely-packed feed often in the shape of a cube, hence the terms "cattle cube" and "cattle cake" to which the aforementioned are derivative, respectively (which is likely what Whiting meant). As for the term's origin in the realm of GIFs, any known examples of its use are now lost, being dead links. To this end, "gooch cube" may not have a definition outside of this confusion, though it may be because of this reality that it has earned one.
