You said: I dare you to challenge me to find a word that you think I may not be able to find.

I say: challenge accepted.

The word is “dopplick”. Some people spell it doplick.

A newborn colt or calf is dopplick – it is clumsy, uncoordinated, and can barely stand upright. When rugrats start standing up and beginning to walk, their parents laugh at the clumsiness and lovingly refer to them as dopplick as well.

I’m told the term is mostly used in Pennsylvania Dutch country, but I’ve heard it used in rural communities with no appreciable Amish population.
