Etymology: "Galloots" is the plural of "galloot," a Scots and northern English noun for a clumsy, awkward person who keeps landing in trouble. The singular is the base form, so the plural simply names several such people at once. Any further history of the root word falls outside what can be traced here, so the story stops with the plural form itself.

Synonyms: fools, clumsy people
