nimrods
Clumsy oafs, colloquially
Nimrods is the plural of nimrod, a word with divergent meanings.
The original sense, from the biblical hunter Nimrod, means a skilled hunter or sportsman—still used this way in some contexts.
In American slang, nimrod means a fool or idiot: Those nimrods locked themselves out again.
The insult sense likely spread through Bugs Bunny cartoons, where the rabbit sarcastically called Elmer Fudd "nimrod."
