It is an archaism to name someone "ungainly, careless", who ended up associating himself with the vagabond, to whom he flees from work. It is probably a deformation of the gibberish Americanism ("used and worn clothes", "scoundrel, of bad living"), which was actually a voice already known in Spain since the seventeenth century as "tall, gangly man". See balagardo .
* Only one "like" per meaning and day, the more "likes" the meaning will appear higher in the list
