Gaunch

Gaunch was a term coined by a Varsity Football player in 1977 and popularized by a Phys Ed teacher in the 1980's. The term was used as an insult but proudly embraced by a group of school age boys and girls dressed in leather and denim who liked to drink alcohol and occasionally indulge in recreational illegal substances. They would gather together often and share in their love of fast cars, loud music, and keg parties. Many "Gaunches" seem to have been in trouble with the law, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. School was not as much a place of education but as a playground to bring teachers and administrators to their knees. Fueled by the love of a good time and an irreverence to the status quo.
