gomeral

noun

1. (Scotland, archaic)Fool, simpleton.

   “[...] to the apparent delectation of immense audiences of gaping gomerals, but to the intense disgust of all sensible people.”

   “"But, you gomeral, you belong to my class, and not to your own!" said the old lord, feeling, with a mixture of pain and amusement and impatience, his own ignorance before the superior and melancholy knowledge of life possessed by this boy.”

   “The same faithful gomeral is to despatch this letter by the express along with those of the wiseacres, so that you may hear Tom Fool in company with Solomon.”
