Pretty sure most people here qualify…

Gaunch was a term coined by a Varsity Football player in 1977 and popularized by a Phys Ed teacher in the 1980’S in Orchard Park, NY. The term was used as an insult but proudly embraced by a group of school age boys and girls dressed in leather and denim who enjoyed intoxicating good times. They would gather together often and share in their love of fast cars, loud music, and keg parties. Many “Gaunches” seem to have been in trouble with the law from time to time. School was not as much a place of education but as a playground to bring teachers and administrators to their knees. Fueled by the love of a good time and an irreverence to the status quo. Many Gaunches have grown into responsible loving parents and successful citizens.

Well, I’ve never heard the term.

But I can definitely say that “gaunches” are the suck, from a teacher’s perspective.

Channel 7 news just had a 3 minute blurb about the event.  
Tickets are $25. Something about blondes vs brunettes too…
