British slang: a tourist, especially one visiting seaside resorts; someone regarded as an outsider by locals.
Origin uncertain, possibly from 'grock' or onomatopoetic in origin. Used primarily in British English, particularly in Southwest England, to describe visiting tourists.
Grockle is pure regional British slang that shows how communities create insulting terms for outsiders — similar words exist in every language (French has 'touriste,' German 'Touri')!
