Kaaperukki is a term used in popular malayalam culture to refer to a person who is not good at a current assignment. The origin of the term is not clear but believed to be rooted on the term perukki or ragpicker

Origin: During local cricket matches in kerala, usually the novice/incompetent or the bad team player is made to sit at the fences to fetch the ball in case it goes outside boundary. This person was called "panthuperukki" (ball picker) However since boundaries are very less/ excellent fielding these people seldom find any shot coming their way and a kind of monotonousness gets up to them and they roam around the boundary picking up fallen fruits (ka in local language), shoots and leaves. Thus being termed kaperukki.

Use: "Ivan oru kaaperukki anallo"  - This guy is useless / Not performing upto expectation(coroporate culture)
