lame-o
Total boring dud
Lame-o is informal slang for someone or something uncool, boring, or pathetically inadequate.
It takes the adjective lame and adds the -o suffix that turns insults into nouns: weirdo, wacko, sicko.
Don't be such a lame-o.
That party was a total lame-o.
The word peaked in 1980s and 90s youth slang but still appears, often with a retro or ironic edge.
