  1. loobynoun

    an awkward or clumsy person

Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Loobynoun

    A lubber; a clumsy clown.

    Etymology: Of this word the derivation is unsettled. Stephen Skinner mentions lapp, German, foolish; and Franciscus Junius, llabe, a clown, Welsh, which seems to be the true original.

    The vices trace
    From the father’s scoundrel race.
    Who could give the looby such airs?
    Were they masons, were they butchers? Jonathan Swift.
