Dinlow, or dinlo, is the Romany word for an idiot or fool. It has also been incorporated in the rural dialects of some farming communities, such as Portsmouth in Hampshire, where there is a large gypsy population.
A worzel overheard talking in a Portsmouth inn: "I are a right dinlow when I bin shanting."

Bumpkins are residents of the small country town of Portsmouth in Hampshire. They dress like scarecrows and speak with a quaint rural dialect, using Romany words like dinlo and shant. These poor simpletons are also know as carrot crunchers or worzels.
Look at that pathetic bell-ringing bumpkin in the long blue wig.
