lumpish

Sluggish and graceless

Lumpish describes someone or something heavy, dull, and sluggish—like a lump.

A lumpish person moves slowly and seems mentally slow or unresponsive: He sat there with a lumpish expression, barely acknowledging the conversation.

The word suggests both physical heaviness and a lack of liveliness or grace.
