1893 I. K. Funk et al. Standard Dict. Eng. Lang. I Gummy, a galeoid shark.

1898 E. E. Morris Austral Eng. 185/2 Gummy, name given to a shark of Victorian and Tasmanian waters, Mustelus antarcticus Günth., and called Hound..in New South Wales, Victoria and New Zealand. The word Gummy is said to come from the small numerous teeth, arranged like a pavement, so different from the sharp erect teeth of most other sharks.

1933 Bulletin (Sydney) 31 May 17/1 All sharks are said to be excellent eating, but the usual variety retailed as snapper or Murray cod are the small crustacean-eaters known as ‘gummies’ in the trade.

1963 D. G. Stead Sharks & Rays Austral. Seas x. 108 The name of Gummy is applied to it because of the rhombic, pavement-like teeth, which, at a passing glance into the fish's mouth, give the impression of toothless gums.

1965 G. McInnes Road to Gundagai iii. 47 All we caught was a gummy shark.

2. A sheep that has lost, or is losing, its teeth. Australian and New Zealand.
