I assume it's some slang that comes from ゴリラ perhaps. I found many examples of
it being used in completely different situations and now I'm very confused...
Apparently there is even a [small
book](http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AA%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%82%8B%E4%BC%9A%E8%A9%B1%E9%9B%86-%E6%96%B9%E6%89%8B%E9%9B%85%E5%A1%9A-ebook/dp/B0162961OQ)
about its meaning, haha.

question
meaning slang
What does ゴリってる mean?
It seems that the author of ゴリってる会話集 [doesn't know the meaning of
ゴリる](https://katatemasatsuka.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%93%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%80%8C%E3%81%AF%E3%81%A3%E3%81%8D%E3%82%8A%E8%A8%80%E3%81%86%E3%81%A6%E3%80%81%E3%80%8C%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AA%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%82%8B%E3%80%8D/).
He just used it as a meaningless word which just sounds odd.

So this book only proves that ゴリる is not an established word :-)

That said, ゴリる is a possible word made up from ゴリラ using [this
rule](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/24351/5010). It would mean "be like
a gorilla", "do something like a gorilla", etc. You may find ゴリる in rhythm
game contexts because ゴリラ is slang for [an incredibly skillful
player](http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AA%E3%83%A9%E4%BA%BA%E9%96%93).

Someone might use it as short for
[ごり押し](http://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AA%E6%8A%BC%E3%81%97)する or
[ゴリゴリ](http://jisho.org/search/%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B4%E3%83%AA)している, too.
