Well, that made me think for a while. I always do these by going down the alphabet and trying to find the right word for them all. I takes a while, but it works.
This is the first new teaser I have ever had the opportunity to comment on. Thanks for the new TOTD editors! It just so happens that if the word doesn't pop out at me after looking at the list a few times, I do the same as Babe, so this didn't take long to figure out!
One more thing, if you read the comments, please leave a comment, even if it is just a smiley face. I don't know about the rest of you, but I could do without any tirades about so few comments!

i signed up because of coolnana's comment that i should comment if i read the comments, so here's my first comment..... please comment on my comment, commentators!
I didn't get this because Gal isn't really a word.
Sorry Marple but gal, short for girl, has been used in North America for over two centuries!

I checked an on-line dictionary an learned that a gal is also a unit of gravitational acceleration, named for Galileo. Who knew?

Fun and easy teaser; gal was the only thing that fit for the first word so that did it for me.
Yay! Look at this lively bunch! An exciting new ToTD and a lot of feedback. Happy day! Keep campaigning, Coolnana!
I had a lot of fun with this one. None of the words jumped out at me right away. It was the last one that finally clicked. Weird, since the others seemed more obvious once I looked at them with "gal" as my proposed response.
