Learn a New Language!!!

Ok....this can be as hard or as easy as you like. Learn a new word, be it in your own language...a foreign language or just plain colloquial. Post your word, its origin (or as close to) and meaning...

Numpty..Scottish colloquial...meaning (as I said) idiot.

Hmm, I'll have a go...

Bafoon: a joker, stupud person. English colloquial I think...
