Mush is a friendly term for mate, pal or friend - as in the friendly greeting, 'hello mush!'(rhymes with bush). It was common parlance in the south of England when I was a child, and I once read that it was an old Hampshire word. On searching the internet, I find that it's a Romany word meaning man, and 'Oi mush' should be taken as meaning 'excuse me sir'.

Mush is also the cry of dog-sled drivers to make their dogs move forward, derived from the French verb 'marcher' meaning to walk. It can also be the noun or the verb referring to the walk across the snow

Also a breakfast meal consisting of thoroughly crushed graham crackers mixed with milk to form a, well, "mushy" substance. I cannot comment on its tastiness, having never consumed it myself, nor can I estimate the ratio of milk to graham cracker, but I suddenly and randomly remembered having seen my younger brothers eating it on a near-daily basis. (WARNING: DIGRESSION FOLLOWS) It wasn't my style, though. I preferred my Lucky Charms or Nintendo Cereal System or what-have-you to be served and eaten dry, not being much of a milk drinker (save for a glass or two of chocolate milk to get my Parental Recommended Daily Allowance of milk, and in my high school years, I was a pop tart man. And then I discovered coffee.... (END OF DIGRESSION) If anyone has ever eaten this for breakfast or any other meal, pop me a /msg and let me know, because it just dawned on me that this might have been one of my own mother's specialties that I should regret having missed out on.
