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.
My wife uses the word klutz.
about twenty pop into my head. Dingus being, probably, the least coarse.
Clodhopper? Bumbler?
That's funny, Patsy! Good word, too.
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.
Great word. Not sure I could risk putting it into a story though :-)
I love 'em too!
Ah yes, I have heard that one, Alex.
I appreciate your restraint, Mac.
Clodhopper sounds like me, Gail.
I do like it, Oscar.
Oh, do let me know, Crystal.
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.

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.
