oaf

The big oaf is a couch potato, not a leader for the blind, or for the seeing.

Shakespeare refers to elves as ouphes, which is the same word as oaf and was formerly spelt aulf.

Gerda was out there still, with her brother and the oaf—whose name, Forrester had discovered, was Alvin Sherdlap.

Strange to say, the oaf seemed to be shedding tears and the quick sympathy went out from Emily's bosom, in spite of the past.
