Hoodle

Part of speech: noun, verb

Definitions

1. A dialect term for a clumsy, slovenly, or idle person who is rather boorish and unrefined
2. A rustic word for a lout or loafer, someone lazy, coarse, and awkward in manner
3. An old regional word describing a dull, loutish fellow who idles about without purpose

Etymology: It doesn't match a well-documented English word or a clear dialect form that I can date or source, so I'd rather not guess at its origin or first use. If you can share the context where you found it, such as a dictionary entry, a regional source, or the sentence it appeared in, I can write a proper etymology from that.
