n. A dirty scrat or dropout who does everything half-arsed. Avoids effort at any cost. Rushes work to save time for gammeling. Also a cheap-skate who mooches stuff off other people. A gammler always accepts the fact that they are a gammler and ends up getting in trouble because they tell everyone how little effort they put into things.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
