Definitions

A good-for-nothing rogue or clown. Used across Ulster and the north of Ireland for someone who's a bit of a wastrel — not quite a villain, more a layabout messer you wouldn't trust with a fiver. Related to the American 'hellion' but softer in tone.
“That hallion still owes me twenty quid from Christmas.”
