Old-school Cockney rhyming slang for 'poof' — a derogatory term for a gay man. Almost always clipped to just 'iron' in the wild, which is what gave it its disguise. Dated, offensive, and these days mostly heard quoted from old gangster films rather than said with a straight face.
“He called him an iron down the pub and got himself glassed for it.”
