the "gluschdich" got me, usually such words have some resemblance to a word from standard German but in this case it doesn't sound familiar to me but then again the Alemannic German isn't my strong suit. Can anybody shed some light on this?

In Swiss German I would spell it "glustig" or "gluschdig". I would "germanize" it as "gelustig". If you are "glustig uf öppis" it means you have "Lust darauf", often used in the context of food. "glust" on its own just means "Lust" as in "Gelüste". As explained in the article if you are "glustig" you are not necessarily hungry but you just crave some food. "Ich hab zwar schon gegessen aber irgendwie hab ich voll Lust auf nen Döner!"
