The structure combines "Gorbals" (a district in Glasgow historically known for rough, working class poverty and toughness) with "kiss" (ironic, as this is the opposite of affectionate), forming a darkly humorous nickname for a violent act. It is used in Scotland, especially in Glasgow and surrounding areas, to mean a headbutt, typically delivered in a fight as an aggressive, close range attack. People typically say "He gave him a Gorbals kiss" or "A Gorbals kiss sorted that argument."
