gully
guh lee
- n deep ditch cut by running water (especially after a prolonged downpour)
- The narrow gully bakes like an oven in the fall sun, and the canyon that engulfs it is silent, save for an occasional magpie's cry.
- Whittington, dressed in orange, was "down a little ways" in a gully.
- When visitors open the spigot, the water quickly cuts a gully through the sand, supposedly demonstrating how the Grand Canyon was created, practically overnight, by Noahs flood.
