The Gooch

Definition

A pop culture reference to the notorious bully from the classic sitcom "Different Strokes" who tormented Arnold with the kind of schoolyard terrorism that would definitely get him expelled today. The name has since been adopted as a nickname for real-life bullies who channel that same menacing energy. It's basically the original "that guy" before "that guy" was a thing.

Example Usage

"Tommy's been acting like The Gooch ever since he got those new sneakers."
