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.

From the Yiddush, a male person who always gets the wrong end of the stick; a naive man, who doesn't know what's going on at any given time. He let's people take him over.
That kunyalemmel let's everyone walk all over him. He's a Mr. Milquetoast.
