It is used in Australian English to describe a mischievous, playful, or cheeky person, often one who defies convention or causes trouble in a lighthearted, likable way, rather than a criminal or violent one. People typically say "He's a bit of a larrikin" or "Aussie larrikin spirit." The term originated in 19th century Australia, evolving from a negative label for inner city hooligans to a positive national stereotype of irreverent, anti authoritarian humor, and remains common in Australian identity discourse.
