oafish

I looked back at Samir and noticed for the first time that his eyes were sincerely brown, no stain or splatter—when everything else about him was shaggy and oafish.

It is, on one level, a crime thriller built from familiar Scorsesean elements: demanding father figures and feckless heirs, treacherous husbands and neglected wives, oafish goons and ruthless assassins, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

Yet the light charm, mostly offered by Shen as the oafish sidekick, serves as a saving grace amid the shadowy political games.

She essentially called environmentalists “boneheaded,” “oafish,” “ham-handed” and “stupider than the right.”

You shouldn’t deny yourself a good technology because some oafish environmentalist tried to force it on you.
