Definition
Plural of gunsel; multiple young, inexperienced criminals or gang members.
Etymology
Simple plural of 'gunsel' formed with the standard English '-s' suffix.
Kelly Says
The term 'gunsels' appears frequently in noir crime fiction of the 1930s-50s, where it often carried hints of problematic meanings alongside its primary sense of young criminals, making it a linguistic artifact of a particular era in American crime literature and slang.
