Leadership is not yelling and screaming and intimidating, Cuban told the crowd. You know what we call a person like that in Pittsburgh? A jagoff.
The University of Pittsburgh, which studies local dialect, defines a jagoff as a person who is irritating because of being inept or stupid.
Is there any bigger jagoff in the world than Donald Trump? he said as the crowd roared.

As in "Yinz jags are a buncha losers."

The same term was spoken referred to as a "jack off". I would have to think the similarity in sound it has a similar origin.
