What does GALOOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An awkward, clumsy, or foolish person, especially a large or ungainly man.
Galoot is an informal, mildly mocking word for someone whose size or manner makes them seem clumsy or out of place, often used with more amusement than real insult. It appeared in English in the nineteenth century, first among sailors, and later spread through American slang as a casual way to describe an oafish or bumbling fellow. The word usually carries a note of affection rather than genuine contempt.
