Irish slang for a low-life, thug, or anti-social lout — the kind of person who starts trouble outside chipper shops at midnight and wears a tracksuit like a uniform. A gouger is typically loud, aggressive, and not someone you want to cross paths with on a dark street. Dubliners use it freely and with great relish. The term carries real edge: calling someone a gouger isn't a gentle insult, it's a full character assassination. Also used loosely for anyone being unreasonably difficult.
Some gouger on the bus was blasting music through a speaker at full volume and giving evils to anyone who looked at him.
