Flemish term or phrase: halvezool

or halfzool - this appears to be a Flemish term of abuse, but I don't quite get the significance of "zool" here.

English translation:nutcase

Explanation:
In fact 'halve zool' is written in two words, it has the same meaning as 'halve gare'

Zool doesn't have any special meaning here. (unless you are looking for an etymological explanation, which I don't have :)
