joskin

He sounds like a friendly sort of fellow:

joskin n a clown, yokel. [Origin from thieves' cant] Chambers, 1998

I anticipate encountering several joskins next time I head back to Devon, and that's just from my own family and friends. Oh no, I've just had a terrible thought. Does this mean I am a joskin too?
