schmucky
Acting like a jerk
Schmucky describes someone or something resembling a schmuck—foolish, contemptible, or pathetically ineffectual.
From Yiddish, it carries the same dismissive tone as the noun: He made some schmucky comment about her dress.
The word suggests not just stupidity but a particular blend of cluelessness and social gracelessness.
