yutz
Clueless, ineffectual person
A yutz is a foolish, clueless, or socially inept person—someone who bumbles through situations without awareness.
The word comes from Yiddish and carries affectionate contempt rather than real hostility: Don't be such a yutz.
It's milder than calling someone an idiot, suggesting haplessness more than stupidity.
