The Coonass Dictionary: Puerile, Gall, and Naive
Puerile - Immature; childish. For example, standing outside your sister's house while she's out of the country and refusing to wave back at the neighbors while you're smoking and talking on the cell phone is puerile.
Gall - Outrageous insolence; effrontery. For example, throwing a crawfish boil, inviting everyone in the neighborhood, and then realizing that nowhere in your trailer is there a pot large enough to cook more than one crawfish at a time. It takes gall to have your sister ask the neighbor (that you refused to wave at and didn't invite) for his enormous aluminum pot that he bought at great expense from a commercial supply store in downtown Denver.
Naive - Having or showing a lack of experience, understanding or sophistication. For example, calling someone and asking to borrow their crawfish boiling pot for "a freind's" party and thinking he won't figure out that it's for your puerile sister's party that he's not invited to takes gall, and also demonstrates that you are naive.
