muppet
Clueless British fool
Muppet is a trademark for the puppet characters created by Jim Henson, combining features of marionettes and hand puppets.
In British slang, muppet means a foolish or incompetent person: Don't be such a muppet.
The insult is mild and often affectionate, suggesting someone is clumsy or dim rather than malicious.
