What “Gyallis” means
A gyallis is a man who chases or juggles many women. The word is built on "gyal" (girl). Depending on who says it, it can be a boast or a warning.
Examples
Im a gyallis, nuh trust im.
He's a womaniser, don't trust him.
Mi nuh deh wid nuh gyallis.
I'm not dating a player.
How to use it
Slang. Some men use it as a brag, and it appears that way in dancehall songs, but from a partner or her friends it is a criticism. It is informal and not offensive in itself.
