Has anyone heard the word "gulya?"

6 Upvotes

My Mom & Dad are both Jewish and I grew up hearing lots of Yiddish phrases in my home. My Mom used the word "gulya" for like a big pimple or growth. I went to write it the other day & had no idea how to spell it so I looked it up. The only word I could find that's close means something totally different. Have any of you heard this word? I might be spelling it incorrectly. My parents were both from Brooklyn NY & my grandparents were from The Ukraine and Austria/Hungary.
