Definitions

noun

1

A gangster; a hired thug.

There is no question the MS-13 gang must be stopped. It is a vile organization of hoodlums with no regard for life.

In Sam Mendes's excellent gangster movie Road to Perdition (2002), he tested the boundaries further playing a hitman – but while we know he's a killer, we never really see him go full-pelt hoodlum.

2

A rough or violent youth.
