butterfingers
Perpetually fumbling person
Butterfingers is a playful insult for someone who drops things or fails to catch them, as if their fingers were slippery with butter: Nice catch, butterfingers.
The word treats clumsiness as a defining trait rather than a momentary lapse.
Despite the plural form, it takes a singular verb: He's such a butterfingers.
