A lersche is an unlucky adolescent, usually between 12 and 16, who displays many or all of the worst symptoms of
puberty. Although lerches often display cases of bad acne and body odor, this term is not limited to physical awkwardness. It can even include characteristics such as
poor hygiene, self esteem issues, social
anxiety, and emotional instability. Lersches may have trouble fitting in or making friends. As such they often develop strange habits or personalities that further qualify them as a lersche.

Person B: That's disgusting! I thought his only problem was that he had bad acne.
