Hi Everyone,

Here's another word from an old song, Ο Γιάννης ο χασικλής. From the context it looks like it means something like "the guy who takes care of the narghile", like it's a title for Γιάννη, but I obviously can't be sure. If it is a title for him, is the nominative form ο αργιλάς? Here's the rest of the lyric:

βρε συ Γιάννη αργιλά
γέμισε μας το λουλά

Hey, John _____

I think your guess is right. No dictionary has αργιλάς, but the meaning is clear in context.
