roughhousers
Boisterous physical players
Roughhousers are people who engage in boisterous, physically rowdy play—wrestling, shoving, tumbling around.
The term usually describes children or young people whose play gets loud and rambunctious: The roughhousers knocked over a lamp.
It can also describe adults who bring that same unruly energy to social situations.
