Etymology
Goyle is a short form of gargoyle, the carved stone figure on old roofs that looks like a 'scary creature' and sometimes helped carry rainwater away. A helpful way to remember the slang use is to picture someone who looks like that 'stone figure', so goyle came to mean an ugly or frightening person today.
