名词 n.
-
Short for hooligan (“a young person who causes trouble or violence, typically as a member of a gang or other group”).
— Hooligans or hoolies are in it for the pure lust of violence and defence of turf and not really politics, although the subculture tends towards a right wing syndrome of working-class machismo and hostility to foreigners and to the better-off, better-dressed, and better-educated. Hoolies also tend towards public inebriation and, sometimes agitated by a small minority screaming 'Sieg Heil' and 'Germany for the Germans', have engaged in massed rampages through towns, attacking shops, police, and whatever target seemed convenient.
-
Alternative spelling of hooley (“a noisy celebration or party”).
— The celebratory ceilidh at the Culag Hotel in Lochinver is still talked about. 'Oh, it was a fine evening,' one discreet woman said to me. 'A right damn wild hoolie!' a well-oiled friend enthused.
-
Alternative spelling of hooley (“a strong wind”).
— Bertie held mum's hand tightly as the wind was by now blowing a hoolie and Bertie did not feel very safe as he felt that he was close to being blown off his paws on more than one occasion.

* from etymology 2 sense 1.
* From “tulaidh” in Scottish Gaelic, often a prefix, indicating extremity, starkness, things taken to an ultimate extent, an absolute degree, which, lenited as “thulaidh” would be pronounced “hoolie”.
