喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A klutz is someone who drops things, knocks into tables, and falls more easily than most people. It is not a doctor’s word. It is a warm, slightly teasing name from American English, and it came in from . You call a friend a klutz after they spill the drink — usually with a smile, not with real anger. It is informal. You would not write it in a formal report about an accident. Though actually, it is about the body more than the mind: a klutz is with hands and feet, not necessarily a foolish person. Someone can be very smart and still be a klutz in the kitchen.
