**spoiler** What does 'Gloo Gloo' mean?


I still can't figure out what "Gloo Gloo" is... Tom says it when he's on his cell phone talking to the Russian who killed his father. The Russian mobster is at the pool and Tom is taunting him on the phone and he says "Hey Gloo Gloo you look pretty Glooey!" Lol... what does that mean? What is Gloo Gloo?

THe translator must have overtranslated.

No, I've seen the French version (original language) and it says "gloo gloo" too.

I believed that he was talking gibberish down the phone out of anger as it made no difference because the Russian couldn't understand what he was saying.

strange translation, probably overtranslated. however, i think he just imitates the swallowing sound if you have a drink and in french it would be pronounced like that, taking 2 zips, like in comic books.

When he says "gloo gloo" he is sort of making fun of the sound of the language that he does not understend. Russian in this case
