gickna

Derogatory term used on the northside of Dublin in the 1980s currently making an unlikely comback.

A close relation of shithead/shitehawk and at its most effective when used in conjuction with 'your ma' style insults.

Deco ye little gickna, I'm gonna burst you if you don't give me that joint.
