A Scottish slang term, possibly referring to someone with a thin or poor appearance, combining 'gundy' (meager) with 'gut' (belly or stomach).
Compound of Scottish 'gundy' (thin/meager) + 'gut' (stomach/person). This appears to be a colorful Scottish insult or descriptive term from regional dialect, likely 18th-19th century origin, though documentation is sparse.
This is exactly the kind of wonderfully specific insult that thrives in oral cultures—imagine a time before dictionaries standardized language, when communities invented creative compound words to mock their neighbors, and most never got written down.
