Bagalut
Bagalut even Bagalute , comes from the northern German vernacular or the Low German and means something like louts or rowdy , but also rogue or petty criminal , but with a rough-comradely note. The origin of the word is not clear. It is assumed that it originated in the English bag o'loot (bag full of stolen or looted goods) in old seafaring days . Likewise bag o'louts similar to the German "rabble" (lout = lout, louts louts) can not be excluded as the etymological root. In Icelandic there is the word “baggalútur” meaning little boy or round stone, pebble .
In the Ruhr area the term "Bajuffen" is common.
In East and South Westphalia, the term “bagaluten” is also used, but it is pronounced with a hard consonant in the initial sound of the second syllable, i.e. “backaluten”.
The members of the band Torfrock refer to themselves as "Bagaluts". Its founding member Klaus Büchner is happy to provide an explanation for all non-North Germans at concerts, what Bagaluts actually are: “In life there are the bad and the good. And those in between are the bagaluts. "
