n. a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals (due to hyperuricemia) in joints. It is an immensely painful disease, which in most cases affects only one joint, most commonly the big toe. The patient usually suffers from two sources of pain. The crystals inside the joint cause immense pain whenever the affected area is moved. The inflammation of the tissues around the joint also causes the skin to be swollen, tender and sore.

Although the true meaning of gout is ''a kind of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the joints. Acute gout is a painful condition that typically affects one joint'' when used as an adjective gout becomes an insult, meaning 'ill person' or 'an individual that is painful to be around.'
Also can be used as a verb of a similar meaning. Someone might inflict annoyance and mental pain on someone, thus will gout them, or is gouting.
