louser
Irish slang for a mean, contemptible, or thoroughly unpleasant person.
Definitions
Irish slang for a mean, contemptible, or thoroughly unpleasant person. A louser is someone who lets others down, cheats, or acts selfishly — the kind of person who'd steal your last euro and then blame you for it. Widely used across Ireland as a casual but pointed insult, it carries real sting without crossing into outright profanity. Think of a louser as the guy who never buys a round at the pub but always drinks yours.
Don't trust him with the float — he's a complete louser and everyone on the street knows it.

- gouger69%
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.
