Gool

Gool is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily in informal or regional contexts. One common usage refers to the eye or eyes, particularly in British slang. This can be used in phrases like "keep your gools peeled" meaning to watch carefully. Another less common meaning, also informal, can refer to a fool or a silly person.

In some parts of the world, "gool" might be a regional dialect word for a ditch or a small channel, especially one used for drainage. This usage is less widespread and more localized.

The origin of the slang term for eye is uncertain but is thought to have emerged in the early 20th century. The usage as a fool is likely a variation on other similar-sounding words. The meaning related to a ditch is possibly connected to older Germanic roots for water channels. Due to its informal nature, "gool" does not have a single, universally recognized definition and its meaning is heavily dependent on the context in which it is used.
