/Sounds like "bah" (as in "bar") + "GWAHL" (as in "Guam")/
An untamed animal or a rough, wild person without any manners. In Argentina and Uruguay 'bagual' describes someone uneducated or difficult to deal with. Also a wild, unbroken horse of the pampas.
“That guy is a brute, he doesn't know how to behave in a meeting.”
“The bagual neighbor blasts music until three in the morning.”

Ñero
In Colombia, someone from the streets with a distinct barrio attitude and their own unwritten code. Whether it is a put-down or a term of pride depends entirely on who is saying it: between strangers it can be dismissive, but between people from the same rough neighborhood it is a badge of solidarity.
