the term gong show is widely used in the hockey locker rooms across canada. it has become the nickname of many out-of-control young men. while mainly used by hockey players, the common person may use it in everyday conversation. to be a gong show, one must be able to pull the chute, as well as be crazy, stupid, loud, obnoxious, annoying, out of control, confused, a frequent streaker, terribly unlucky, inept, a drunk, a lazy ass, or any combination of all of these

spence is a definite gongshow. tonight, at dinner before the game, he choked on a piece of chicken, coughed it up into his nasal cavity, blew it out his nose, and ate it again. in the game he got in a fight, broke a guys leg, and scored a goal. afterward, he put on his pink sunglasses and hopped in the shower with the team, then ran naked through the rink giggling like a little girl.

gong show 

One who does exceedingly stupid or irrational things, usually but not necessarily while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The word is believed to have originated as a spin-off of the 1976 ABC sitcom ‘The Gong Show’ where participants would perform until the judges deemed their performance too awful to continue. Note: gong show is commonly abbreviated to 'gong'. The act of calling somone a gong show is often accompanied by two of his buddies bashing an immaginary gong.
