British and Australian slang for a fist, used primarily in the context of fighting or physical confrontation. The word has a rough, street-level register and often appears in descriptions of brawls, boxing, or working-class combat. It carries connotations of bluntness and physicality — your mauleys are your weapons in a fight. The term is found in boxing slang, Victorian street cant, and Australian rough-and-tumble vernacular, and may still be heard in older or regional British speech.
