chump
Fool easily tricked
A chump is a foolish or gullible person, easily deceived or taken advantage of: Don't be a chump—read the contract before you sign.
The word suggests someone lacking street smarts rather than intelligence.
A chump is also a thick cut of meat, especially from the loin: chump chop.
