Hallion in Belfast seems to be very negative but in the Glens its generally used like Eejit which isn't particularly offensive unless said with a disgusted tone of voice.

Thon pretty much means that,

Thon thing over there's a f**king Hallion

Hallion should actually be Hellion: a rowdy or mischievous person

Hallion used to be a sizeable girl who'd be eating cakes and have her kickers showing whilst grapplin to get over a fence.

Now there are male hallions. Global warming I suppose.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
