galoots
Big awkward fellows
Galoots is the plural of galoot, an informal and mildly insulting term for a clumsy, awkward, or dim-witted person, usually a man: Those galoots couldn't fix a leaky faucet if their lives depended on it.
The word has an old-fashioned, folksy quality and is rarely used with genuine hostility.
