An inept dilettante without redeeming qualities. A self-absorbed person who repeatedly fails to figure out what they "want to do with their life." Whenever you talk to them, they harp on all the new, pretentious stuff they're doing badly. Dilettwats lack any semblance of grit. They are take off on flights of fancy about their futures, but forsake plans at the first sign of adversity. You have little hope for them. They are so navel-gazing and annoying you do not even want them succeed. When conversing with a dilettwat, if you start talking about yourself, their eyes glaze over and you can tell they're thinking about one of their crackpot projects. The best thing to do when stuck talking to a dilettwat at a party is to chug your beer, excuse yourself and walk away shaking your head.
Bob: Hey Dill, how’s it going?
Dill *sad and frustrated*: Horrible. I slept in and missed yoga class this morning. Then I fell off my unicycle. Then I got so mad 'cause I just couldn't figure out this Bob Marley song on my uke. Then, to top it all off, I got stung like fifteen times trying to harvest the honey from my beehives!
Bob: Dude, do you even have a job.
Dill: ...job?
Bob *shaking head and walking away*: You’re such a dilettwat.

Last night, hit a good lick. I brought home three figures easy for about two hours worth of my time. Not too bad I don't think.
