Foozle

noun

You’d probably hear this one coming out of the home of an old married couple. “Ye olde foozle, ye forgot to lock the door again!” The word foozle means “a conservative, out-of-date person, especially an old man; dodo, fogy.” Fair enough. You can also use this word to imply a bungled effort on someone’s part. Say your first shot off the 18th tee landed in the lake. Well, ya foozled that one.
