dorkiest
Supremely socially inept
Dorkiest is the superlative form of dorky, meaning the most awkward, unfashionable, or socially inept in a group.
The word carries affection more than contempt—being the dorkiest often suggests endearing cluelessness rather than genuine failure: He wore the dorkiest outfit to the party.
She's the dorkiest person I know, and I love her for it.
