We the TCs use it a lot but didn't know that it means devil... there are many different pronounciation of this word in TC dialect...

Gavvole, gavvole mavre, gavvolez, kakvole

It's a condense version of 'Lamne mavro-yirefke'

Literally it means 'Go black-search', ( :lol: ), which means 'take a hike!' or something similar... :wink: :lol:
