"Glod". Which is itself a joke, being an anagram of Gold and hence a
joke on Dwarves in general.

Wasn't that something to do with a curse and a god that couldn't spell? 
Creosote was the victim.

That was earlier, IIRC, in Sourcery, but yes, it was referring to the
same joke when re-used later in Sould Music. Pratchett is nothing if
not egalitarian in his approach to humourous[1] references, being
equally happy quoting the greatest English writer, or failing that
resorting to Shakespeare.


[1] Or not, as the case may be.

The only reason we don't say "Get back in the kitchen" is because most 
of you are more dangerous in there.

Quite an interesting interview with Pratchett at the Edinburgh
Writer's Festival.
