The Lemon Fool

I'm struggling for the spelling of "louthe" or "looth". Where somebody is slightly unpleasant in their own easy going way, someone that is the bloke you dont want your daughter to ever bring home!

rhymes with "youth" and "tooth".

Am I dreaming that word?

Ive googled and all i get is the town in linconshire or stealing during a riot!

Lout??

Louth is a market town in Loncolnshire very near Cadwell Park. Having visited regularly for the last 3 decades there are plenty of louts there in the small hours, although they probably used to be us

I think the word you are looking for is louche

that'll do it

I use the word 'ruffian' to describe the yoofs round here
