What does ''lout'' mean?
That's a new word for me! I've looked it up and just found its meaning: '' a stupid person'', ''awkward'', ''oaf'', ''clumsy''. However, I have no idea when to use it properly in a sentence.

For example, If I wanna say that a person is very stupid or something like that, can I say like this:

''You are a lout person'' or '' The lout of my friend just screwed it all up again!''

Please, if anyone knows how to use it, then help me out here! Just can't get it!
(I would be really glad if someone could give me some more examples by using this word in a sentence!)

Answer

It’s a noun, not an adjective. It is an older term, not used in current American English.  Good for reading vocabulary, but not for speaking.
