hellraiser

hellraiser

Someone who is apt to act wildly and cause or get into trouble. Yeah, I was a hellraiser in college, but those days are long over—I have a job and a family now. You two are going to be grounded for life if you keep acting like total hellraisers. A: "Try not to worry too much, OK? Teens are helleraisers, and then they grow out of it." B: "Let's just hope Bobby doesn't get arrested before then!"
