A gilpin is a term for "sucker" or "chump" that dates from as early as the 1910s but rarely appears in the modern century. Consider this line from
1) James Cagney's taxi driver friend in THE ROARING TWENTIES (1939): "To Long Island it's fifteen dollars for the wise guys, 30 dollars for the gilpins."
2) Cagney, upon realizing he was naive, says, "I was a such a gilpin."
