lummox
Big awkward person
A lummox is a clumsy, awkward person—someone physically ungainly or mentally slow.
The word suggests a large, bumbling figure who knocks things over or can't quite keep up: You big lummox, watch where you're going!
It's mildly insulting but often affectionate, the kind of thing you'd call a friend who trips over his own feet.
