Doji
I am probably a person called doji (どじ).
Doji means a stupid mistake or a person who often makes such a mistake.
Its etymology has not been obvious yet, but there are various theories as follows:
A theory says that it comes from donchi (鈍遅), which means that something is slow and dull.
A theory says that it comes from tochiru (とちる), which means to make a mistake.
A theory says that it is short for tochimenbou (とちめんぼう), which means to panic.
A theory says that it is short for dochiguchi (どちぐち), which means that something is vague.
Incidentally, this term is similar to manuke (間抜け - stupid) and bonkura (ぼんくら - Idiot) that I introduced before.

どじ
恐らく私は「どじ」です。
「どじ」とは、間の抜けた失敗や、そのような失敗をする人を指す言葉です。
正確なことはわかっていませんが、「どじ」の語源は以下のように諸説あります。
遅くて鈍いことを意味する「鈍遅（どんち/どぢ）」が変化したという説。
失敗することを意味する「とちる」が変化したという説。
あわてるという意味の「とちめんぼう」を略したという説。
はっきりしないさまを意味する「どちぐち」を略したという説。
この言葉は、以前紹介した「間抜け」や「ぼんくら」という言葉と似ています。
