lout:

(the letters ‘ou’ rhyme with the letters ‘ow’ in “cow”)

a rough, awkward and stupid man or boy with very bad manners who disturbs the peace of others;

{‘Lout’, as a verb, is more commonly used to mean ‘to bow or bend down low; to show respect by bending down’.}

(A ‘litter lout‘ is the one who throws litter on the streets, in stead of throwing it in a litter bin.)
