What does CLUMSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Awkward in movement, lacking skill or grace in handling things.
A clumsy person trips over rugs, drops cups and bumps into doors, though the trait often fades with practice. The word extends to objects that are hard to use because of their size or shape, and to words, excuses or gestures that lack tact. Unlike awkward, which can stress embarrassment, clumsy points at a lack of coordination or finesse.
