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.
