Patsy, I follow womagwriter's blog, and didn't realise you had this one about words also. I'm so glad to find it. I love words.
I love 'em too!
My wife uses the word klutz.
Ah yes, I have heard that one, Alex.
about twenty pop into my head. Dingus being, probably, the least coarse.
I appreciate your restraint, Mac.
Clodhopper? Bumbler?
Clodhopper sounds like me, Gail.
That's funny, Patsy! Good word, too.
I do like it, Oscar.
A bungler? A klutz? I like this one, although it makes me think of Victorian times. Now I'm going to have to see when it was first used.
Oh, do let me know, Crystal.
Great word. Not sure I could risk putting it into a story though :-)
I'm going to give it a try, Annalisa.
Me too. I'm sure I'm a Hobbledehoy as well. I knock everything over and fall over things.
I can trip on things which aren't there.
That's a new word for me, Patsy!
I hope you'll be using it soon.
Thanks so much for commenting!
A hobbledehoy is a clumsy or awkward youth. I was one of them a loooong time ago, though I don't recall being referred to as such.
