I don't see the word nobhead so I consider it inaccurate

Is it the Scots that often say "you absolute gowl" or do they use a similar word to that?

I haven't heard of that but given that Scottish Gaelic is pretty much just a dialect of Gaeilge, it's possible. Although as an insult its more common in Munster which is at the least-related end of the dialect scale from Scottish.
