Grockle is an English West Country dialect word used to describe a visitor or tourist. It is a derogatory term by which local residents of those towns refer to the perceived hordes of tourists, particularly during the summer months. In the south-west, particularly Cornwall and the Isle of Wight, the word "emmet" (Cornish for "ant") is usually heard instead. Also used in the Bailiwick of Guernsey
