bozo
Dimwitted lout, casually
A bozo is a stupid or foolish person—someone who bumbles through situations or makes obvious mistakes.
The word carries mild contempt but is rarely harsh: Some bozo cut me off in traffic.
It suggests incompetence more than malice, often applied to strangers whose names you don't know or care to learn.
