The word is "ogre. This is a large, deformed and ugly monster from fairy tales. It is sometimes thought to eat humans. It can also refer to a particularly brutish and mean person, someone who is harsh and cantankerous.
P.S I saw that "gigliegirl" had an entry from Wikipedia for "oger"
so I checked it out. "Oger" is the German spelling of "ogre".
In fact, the whole article in Wikipedia is in German, which is why it is spelled "oger".
Wenn ich kein Deutch spricht, konnte ich das Artikel gar nicht verstehen.
Auf Deutsch ist es "Oger" geschrieben.
Auf Englisch man schreibt "ogre".
