Podcast: Word of the Day
Episode: Lout
Description: Lout is a noun that refers to an uncouth or aggressive person.
Our word of the day is of German origin. It entered the English language in the mid 16th century and since then is almost never used in a flattering context. Here’s an example: Only a lout like Steve could make a mess of the office party. You’d have to be really aggressive and cruel to ruin a lovely gathering like that.
