0 old-fashioned for jailbird informal
But it is, for me at any rate, something quite new to think of her as a potential gaolbird.
If we do not spend money now in protecting these people, we shall have to spend it in keeping gaolbirds.
I have discussed this with gaolbirds in their own homes.
We have had a student of social science, we have had an ex-policeman, and perhaps it is time that the gaolbirds had a word to say for themselves.
Would he not agree with me that it is very derogatory to apply the term "gaolbird" to a man who has been in prison only for his political convictions?
