I'm the biggest radgie

Oh no it is radgie gadgie
An angry person, typically an old man. Radgie gadgies are most often angry at the shenanigans of children and teenagers.
Our school caretaker is a right radgie gadgie, all I did was set the goalposts on fire.
In the West of Scotland, I believe the term equates to someone that no one would associate themselves with else they get tainted with the same brush.
NOT a term of endearment.
It applies equally to both male and female... no sex discrimination there!
As children we would call someone a gadgie if they had a cold sore or spots and avoid them.
As teenagers it would apply to someone of the opposite sex who was not particularly attractive.
As adults I think we stopped using the term.
