Geordie (Newcastle) dialect slang for a fool, an eccentric, or someone behaving in a daft and aimless way. Glaik has a rough-edged, affectionate quality typical of North East English insults — it's more likely to be said with a laugh than genuine contempt. You might call a mate a glaik for doing something dim, or use it to describe someone who's acting like a clown. Still alive in genuine Geordie speech.
Look at that glaik trying to kick-start a scooter that's clearly out of petrol.
