2)n. description that combines the worst aspects of being lazy and fat
3)n. a combination of 1) and 2)
The word galoot is rarely used completely seriously. Instead, it is usually used as playful exaggeration or in self-deprecation. On those rare occasions when it is more directly applied (to others) its light nature gives it the form of mild reproach.
