brillig is 4 O' Clock in the afternoon or a time where you'd start preparing things for supper. now for slithy toves. slithy is lithe and slimy. Toves is a curious creature like a badger that nests under sun-dials and lives off cheese. Gyre is like whirl or spiral. The definition of gimble is "a mechanism, typically consisting of rings pivoted at right angles, for keeping an instrument such as a compass or chronometer horizontal in a moving vessel or aircraft." Wabe is a round shape formed by concentric circles. Mimsy is underwhelming. Boorgoves are a type of bird. Mome means basically they lost their way. rath is a sort of green pig. Outgrabe is something between whistling and bellowing with a kind of sneeze in the middle. hope this helps!!
