Grasshopper

Inexperienced one, affectionately

A grasshopper is a jumping insect with long hind legs, found in grassy areas worldwide.

Grasshoppers feed on plants and can devastate crops when they swarm as locusts.

The word extends to restless or inattentive people who hop from thing to thing.

In old martial arts films, "grasshopper" became a stock term for a novice student: Patience, grasshopper.
