galoot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'uncouth type?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'john follows georgia? time' is the wordplay.
'john' becomes 'loo' (loo is a kind of john).
'follows' says to put letters next to each other.
'georgia?' becomes 'ga' (abbreviation for the US state).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'loo' after 'ga' is 'galoo'.
'galoo'+'t'='GALOOT'

'for' is the link.
