"Klutz" is an English slang term borrowed from Yiddish klots, meaning "block of wood" or "clumsy person," which entered American English in the early 20th century. The word metaphorically likens a person to a wooden block—awkward, heavy-handed, or prone to accidents. It describes someone who is clumsy, awkward, or constantly dropping things. The term is commonly used in informal speech in the U.S., often teasingly or humorously, and is mildly derogatory rather than seriously offensive.

Putz is a slang term borrowed from Yiddish, appearing in English in the 20th century, to describe a foolish, inept, or contemptible person. The word originally means "penis" in Yiddish, and it came to be used metaphorically to insult someone's intelligence, competence, or character. Historically, it was derogatory and mocking, often used to belittle or ridicule someone. Today it remains informal and insulting, commonly used in casual, humorous, or critical contexts rather than polite or formal conversation.

"Schmuck" comes from Yiddish, where it literally refers to the penis, and entered American English through Jewish immigrant communities in the early 20th century. The sexual meaning faded in mainstream use, and it became a general insult for a foolish, clumsy, or contemptibly stupid person. It is common in informal speech and humor, especially in North America. The term is derogatory but often carries a comedic or exaggerated tone.
