Italian term or phrase: gaggio

wie übersetzt man "gaggio",

im dem Sinne: quella persona e' un "gaggio" ?

Ich habe nicht ganz kapiert, ob es sich um Umgangssprache oder Dialekt handelt.
Im Netz findet sich der Terminus zwar oft, ich komme aber nicht drauf, was er genau bedeutet.
Hilfe?

Zama.
Sta per “zamarro”, che sta per “tamarro”, che sta per “gaggio”, che sta per “tarro”, che sta per “truzzo” e vuol dire zoticone, rozzo.

Gaggio.
L’equivalente di tamarro a Cagliari e dintorni. Si usa spesso per persone vestite male o pacchianamente. “Guarda quello quanto è gaggio!”.

gaggio = rozzo/pacchiano
