Please help me to understand what does the word "gullier" mean?

[Aleksey]

Hi everyone.

I was reading a story and I came across this phrase: "I look up the sky and let out a big gullier at the stars". What does it mean? The protagonist is an Irish guy. Is it a kind of Irish slang? Is it about throwing a stone or showing some kind of gesture? Sorry if it's something rude. I honestly have no idea what does it mean. I would be grateful if someone could explain it to me.

Best regards,
Alex

And please ensure that you correctly quote text.

"I look up at the sky and let out a big gullier at the stars".

It's slang. Take a look at the following link.

I'm sorry for not mentioning the title and author. This is from the book "Fishing the sloe-black river" by Colum McCann.

It's new slang to me. You live and learn.

It's not a word I plan to use myself.:-|

What had the stars done to deserve that?

You will find the answer to this question if you read the short story "Around the Bend and Back Again" from this wonderful book.

See above.

Note that your thread title is constructed incorrectly. It should read "Please help me to understand what [strike]does[/strike] "gullier" means."

A sentence that starts with "Please help me to ..." is not a question. If you had posted just "What does the word 'gullier' mean?", it would have been correct (both the word order and the closing punctuation mark).
