Yes! The etymology for both words is the French word gargouille, meaning throat. Gargouiller in frrench means gargle as we know it in English, and a gargoyle has a spout where rain water exits it’s mouth when it’s raining (via its throat)
From memory if it doesn’t spout water it’s called a grotesque.
That is cool! I saw some gargoyles in China and they were so cool! I just called them dragon gutter spouts because I didn’t know this. Actually, I took some pictures, might as well share one.
Thanks for dropping some knowledge!
Fun fact: They are called gargoyles because they gargle water out of their mouths.

Should have been Disney Grotesques!
I dont know. They can almost certainly spit water out of their mouths.
I have spent way too much time on the internet. My mind went somewhere very naughty halfway through that sentence.
I almost posted something much worse, but decided to go with what I sent instead. You aren’t alone.
Nah, they’d have to provide drainage from their mouths in stone form for it to count.
Wow that show brings back memories.
Goliath will remember this
He’ll wax philosophical about how humans used such a negative term to describe something they don’t understand.
The best part about that show is that most of the Voice Actors were almost all from Star Trek TNG.
I’m sure there’s a fan theory out there that it’s all a single Holo Deck TTRPG.
