Palookas 

Refers to an incompetent opponent in a sporting arena (usually boxing). Can also be used to refer to minnow cricket teams and other clumsy or useless beings.

"Bangladesh and Zimbabwe would battle to beat my local ski-boat club on a bad day. To hear players and coaches stating how well they played against these palookas is really pathetic."

palooka

Taken from the old Joe Palooka comic strip: a big boxer hero that helped fight the bad guys.

The word palooka has now become somewhat of a negative term usually preceded by the word "big".

Large man, clumsy man, oaf, fighter, bully, brawler.

Somewhat of a slang term.

Get away from me ya big palooka.

Stop acting like a big palooka.

Go outside if ya wanna fight ya big palooka!

Who do ya think ya are: Palooka Joe?

Palookaville 

The middle of nowhere, back of beyond. A place where a no-name nobody (e.g a journeyman golf pro)lives.

As soon as Jerry Kelly has worked that flukey streak out of his system, he'll be going back to Palookaville where he belongs.

Palookaville 

A nonexistant place that is supposedly the source of all palookas in the world.

Such a place would be characterized by mediocrity or stupidity, and therefore may be used to refer to a place that exemplifies these qualities.

The job was a one-way ticket to Palookaville.
