radgie gadgie

An angry person, typically an old man. Radgie gadgies are most often angry at the shenanigans of children and teenagers.

Our school caretaker is a right radgie gadgie, all I did was set the goalposts on fire.

Gadgie

In the West of Scotland, I believe the term equates to someone that no one would associate themselves with else they get tainted with the same brush.

NOT a term of endearment.

It applies equally to both male and female... no sex discrimination there!

As children we would call someone a gadgie if they had a cold sore or spots and avoid them.
As teenagers it would apply to someone of the opposite sex who was not particularly attractive.
As adults I think we stopped using the term.
