    You meant to use jilted (as in jilted lovers) - gilted means covered in a thin layer of gold… and if you wanted gilted you’d probably be better of using gilded which is a much more commonly used word for essentially the same connotation of richness.

      Logic dictates that ā€œJiltedā€ means ā€œcovered in Joldā€. Ergo, ā€œjoldā€ is a synonym for whatever causes ā€œunfavoredā€ or ā€œfallen out of favorā€

      ā€œWe have too much jold and should get a divorceā€
