The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
rfv-sense: (slang) a maggot. Maggot may be a generalized insult, like "worm". But it seems a long way from "lout" to "maggot". DCDuring TALK 02:46, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Same source as she-devil, lummox, FWIW. also other reverted material and articles that needed heavy editing, but also some probable keepers. DCDuring TALK 03:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
As I have heard lout used synonymously with louse, maybe it's not so far a stretch to maggot.
