A Canadian jail-term mostly used from the 1970's to the 1990's, but still active today in some circles. Another word for looser, goof, geek, wimp, punk.
Look at that loogan over there, what a shitbox! We should go kick the fuck outta him!

loogan comes from the marriage of the words loser and hooligan. Goonish behaviour contributes to the loogans lack of success in his work life, relationships and ability to function as a normal human male.

Originally a term, perh. derog., of an irish hoodlum.
Now used to indicate any rural, slack-jawed yokel of incestuous inbreeding.
Noted for intolerant, yet resourceful nature.
Especially applies to those in Northern Ontario and Tennessee.
The loogan in Sudbury was warming up the moment (with his first cousin, sex not determined) to the passionate stylings of David Wilcox's "Layin' Pipe."

Raymond Chandler simply defines a Loogan as, "A guy with a gun."
Phillip Marlowe is always on the lookout for any Loogan dumb enough to draw a gat on him.

Whenever there is a event happening in a public space, be it a concert, a lecture, a hockey game or a political function, there is a 100% chance that there will be at least one guy disturbing that event by being a drunken idiot.
There's always a loogan.
