It generally means incompetent fool. If you are playing football (your kind not ours ), and someone kicks the ball into their own net, then you can call him putz.New one on me.
What does it mean?

Joe is right there is such a thing as a pukka pie which has been around for a very long time in the Derbyshire area but pretty well nowhere else.I was born in Yorkshire which is to north of Derbyshire and I had never heard of them until I was in my forties living in London. I learnt of them from a primary school headteacher.
I am not sure of the origin of the term pukka but it has certainly been around for at least 20 years and is used to describe something as genuine or very good
Thanks for the suggestions and explanations guys.
How about some yiddish words? No, I am not Jewish but have adopted these words nevertheless :
Schmuck. I use it in the context of people making stupid decisions. "Look at the schmucks in congress...."
Anti-schmuck insurance. This is a term used in Hollywood in contract negotiations. Usually at the end of negotiating they may ask for this "anti-schmuck insurance." It goes like this: "this deal sounds good but what if I find out someone else would get a much better deal and I would be called a Schmuck? I want a clause that says no one else can get a better deal." The proper contract term for it is Most Favorite Nation (MFN) clause.
They are the same: you just need to decode Joe's version .Thanks Amirm.
Now I am confused by the conflicting translations from you and Joe unless both are correct.
I figured that . Had to think for a while how to provide an explanation that didn't go there .Just trying to be polite!
