Hobbledehoy (one of the least Hobbit-y words out there...)

So, I know you are literally dying to hear what this word means. Lucky you. I rolled a 20, so I shall tell you right away.
As its finest, the word Hobbledehoy means an incredibly awkward and clumsy youth. (See: All High School Students)

But what did other people in my family say?
Hop-on-Pop: A style of Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza with prunes on it.
My Momma, the Llama:  The sound a Jewish Turkey makes (GobbledeOyVey)
Messy Jessie: A style of Mongolian Architecture
Jess's Friend Emma Dilemma: A thorny bush*

The word Hobbledehoy (feel free to call any student that) comes from... Well, it's actually unknown where this spelling came from.  One of its first appearances was in 1540, in a few writings, but it kinda became obsolete and unused. That is, until the 1941 movie Cheers for Miss Bishop came out, which used the word once or twice. I can't find any source of script, so I can't tell you the actual line.
The word hobbledehoy was also used by H.G. Wells in his story The Invisible Man. "The bandages and false hair flew across the passage into the bar, making a hobbledehoy jump to avoid them." (Wells)
Earlier, I said that it was unknown where this current spelling originated, and I wasn't lying. At all.  I have seen some sources on the interwebs that spell it Hobbldehoy, hobbledhoi, hobbeldhoy, and I think those are correct.
Many word-critic-y believe that the word Hobbledehoy comes from Hob-, meaning Devil, or even hobidy-booby**, which was ye olde speake for a Scarecrow. Hobbididance is another possibility of the word's origin, meaning a malicious spirit or sprite.
So there you have it. Be sure to call students a hobbledehoy from here on out.
So, my words for next week, in the spirit of the last blog before Thanksgiving, I believe I shall do 2 food-related words that shall be very appropriate for the time of year these words shall be posted on. The words are Kummerspeck and Crapulous. Have fun waiting. 

*Jess and Emma need to step up their game. Really? How boring are those answers
**If you call someone a hobidy-booby in my English class one day, I will buy you a Pop-Tart.
