n. hoo-leel-ia hoo-leel-ya or hill-yale-ya

(Can be triggered by low approval levels, adjacent conversations about waffles, and/or banter about sartorial choices specific to days of the week and intended to impress a fine looking woman).
2. A hellion child, running around being rowdy and mischievous. Affectionate connotation. Something mothers used to say.
(American English, 1999, lexiconical recognition often disputed)
////// note: So this is a made up word from S01E20 of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing". I was surprised it wasn't in here! Since it'll likely only be searched by people who are into the show, I'm making some references to the scene that I think people would find amusing. The example sentences also have some callback references to the series.... anyway the guidelines say "you're writing for a general audience" so hopefully this is within bounds... Feel free to cut the obscure stuff or however you think it should be changed. Thanks for your work! It's such a great and fun resource!

Get the Hooligan mug.Not much is known of the origin of the Hardcore Hooligan, other than he is an enigma who first gained popularity in the late 90's. Achieved worldwide popularity in 2006 with his "Armani Livid" photoshoot, which was featured in popular maninstream magazines such as GQ and Maxim, among many others. Due to his piercings and tattoos, this was a major breakthrough for other models with an "alternative" style.
Most recently achieved notoriety as the leader of both the TPMB Crew (Taking Porch Monkey Back Crew) as well as the BHA (Bum Hunters of Austin). Both groups consisted of jackbooted hooligans who found amusement in hunting the city's homeless and spraying them, or "fogging" them, with fire extinguishers, among other acts of hooliganism.
Has been known to have very high standards with the women that he dates, and prefers thinspos (anorexic) with "perfect" noses. Prefers "Gabber" type music over any other.
