I once had a room within earshot of someone who had some sort of breathing difficulty. Whilst one couldn't help but feel sorry for the fellow, the noises that he made first thing in the morning whilst getting his lungs to puff and blow were rather like those of a beginner bagpipe player trying to get the bag to inflate. The word definition of the word "Gyroar" could comfortably extend to the clearing of the lungs or as a shouted encouragement to someone whose stubbonly limp bagpipe was getting the better of them! "Och McMuckle, blaw it laddie, Gyroar Laddie, Gyroar!"
Well really; can you imagine how gyroared you would feel?
