An informal, slightly dated slang term for a person, carrying a mildly dismissive or humorous tone. Typically used to refer to a fellow or bloke in a non-specific way, often where the speaker finds the person odd or unremarkable. More common in early-to-mid 20th century American and British slang than in contemporary use.

For parents

Gazook means: An informal, slightly dated slang term for a person, carrying a mildly dismissive or humorous tone. Typically used to refer to a fellow or bloke in a non-specific way, often where the speaker finds. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour.

For ESL learners

gazook means: An informal, slightly dated slang term for a person, carrying a mildly dismissive or humorous tone. Typically used to refer to a fellow or bloke in a non-specific way, often where. Register: dated, informal. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

Why is this section here?

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
