heller

Tiny German coin

A heller is someone who raises hell—a rowdy, reckless, or wild person: He was a real heller in his youth.

The term suggests someone given to carousing, fighting, or general troublemaking.

It's informal and often carries a note of grudging admiration for the person's spirited defiance of convention.
