Mysterious term that came into inconsistent spoken usage and started appearing as graffiti (toilet walls, arenas, game arcades, etc.) in Atlantic Canada--particularly central Newfoundland--sometime in the mid to late 1970s, and had virtually disappeared by the mid 1980s. Its meaning is not precisely clear; it may have referred to a morally loose female (as it does in other contexts), but there is also evidence of a more esoteric or person-specific meaning. It was nearly always spelled in [capital letters], suggesting an anagram or, more likely, an acronym for some presently unknown term or phrase. The word was [particularly] associated with young fans of the more aggressive and/or occult genres of rock music, and there is reason to believe that it [originated] in the (former) military and airport town of Gander, Newfoundland--a community strongly associated with devout rock fans in the late 1970s/early '80s.
