Gurning, the term comes from a Yorkshire (I think) tradition of pulling faces. Basically these blokes sat around in the pub, taking turns to pull the ugliest most ridiculous face whilst wearing a horses collar around their necks. Todays usage refers to the contorted faces people pull when under the effects of speed or E, wich tend to cause contraction of the facial muscles, and are losing it to music comprised mainly of repetitive beats. jeff OnSony: Drum n Space 3, 1st Listen, Thanks Tom!!!!
