This could be a double definition.

'galoot's' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.

'girl?' is the second definition.
('gal' can be a synonym of 'girl')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gal that I've seen before include "miss" , "An American girl, cowboy vintage" , "female noted in Kalamazoo" , "measure of acceleration?" , "Lass" .)
