Bolagoola

From the Yiddush.
Used to describe a crass, tall, and maybe smelly man who is kind of rough around the edges. This person is not mean. It can pertain to a tradesman who doesn't clean up after he has worked, and is still full of grease.

That plumber you hired is a real bolagoola. I can't get near him, he is so smelly.
