Small mistakes...
Hi,
I'm trying to learn more idioms, proverb and slang.
Could you please help me!
Now I want to know what are some idioms and slang for someone who always makes small and silly mistakes.

A common slang term in the UK for a mistake is a "***-up" (mildly vulgar).
(Edited) seems I can't even write "c-o-c-k-up" here...
A stronger X-rated version is "f***-up".
