A derogatory term for someone who is stubbornly and spectacularly stupid — not just slow but aggressively resistant to reason, as if their skull is packed with solid brick instead of a working brain.
A derogatory term for someone who is stubbornly and spectacularly stupid — not just slow but aggressively resistant to reason, as if their skull is packed with solid brick instead of a working brain. Brickhead implies both thickness and rigidity: they don't get it and won't get it no matter how clearly you explain. It's a useful term for people whose obtuseness is so consistent it starts to feel like a personality trait.

(slang) Someone who is thick-skulled, stupid or stubborn.
(colloquial, humorous) A stupid person; sometimes one who is being stubborn to the point of stupidity.
British slang for a fool or a person of notably poor intelligence — someone whose wit is as thick and unyielding as a brick. The compound plays on 'brick' as a byword for denseness and 'wit' as intelligence, creating a blunt insult that implies the person's mental capacity is about as nimble as masonry. It's a fairly uncommon term, but its construction is immediately clear to anyone familiar with British insult vocabulary, slotting neatly alongside 'thickhead,' 'numpty,' or 'plonker.'
