(UK, dialect) A simpleton.
Maffling is an old English dialect word for a simpleton — someone who's a bit muddled, slow, or easily confused. The word has a soft, bumbling quality that fits its meaning perfectly. It comes from parts of northern and midland England and has mostly faded from use, but it retains a certain charm as a mild and almost affectionate insult.
