(Geordie, pejorative) A bad-tempered old man.
Geordie slang from the north-east of England for a bad-tempered, aggressive, or volatile man — particularly an older bloke who's quick to fly off the handle. 'Radgie' means angry or mad, while 'gadgie' is a Geordie/Scots Romany word for a man. Put them together and you've got a vivid portrait of someone best avoided on a night out or at the school gates. The phrase has a wonderfully specific regional texture that you simply can't replicate in standard English.
