Magotty what does it mean?

But one day at recess, Eric followed her to her secret hiding place. “Have you become a mole?” he laughed. And he pulled her out into the hall, and danced around her. “Dumbbell, dumbbell, [magotty] old dumbbell!”


What does the word in the bracket mean?

Thanks

It should be spelled "maggoty", meaning infested with maggots (larvae of flies or similar insects). I do not particularly recommend that you use brackets to highlight a word within a text. You can use bold or coloured font instead.
