An old-school slang term for a guy or fellow, usually with a slightly dismissive or teasing edge. Think of it as the early 20th-century version of calling someone a "dude" or "character" — not outright insulting, but not exactly a compliment either. It pops up in old American literature and pulp fiction to describe someone who's a bit of a goofball or an odd duck. Rarely heard today, but still a fun piece of linguistic history.
That gazabo at the end of the bar keeps telling the same story every night.
