A cementhead is someone whose thinking is as rigid, dense, and impenetrable as the building material — a person stubbornly resistant to new ideas, good advice, or basic common sense.
A cementhead is someone whose thinking is as rigid, dense, and impenetrable as the building material — a person stubbornly resistant to new ideas, good advice, or basic common sense. It's a step up from blockhead or bonehead: the cement implies not just stupidity but an active, hardened refusal to update their views. You can argue with a cementhead until you're hoarse and they won't budge an inch.
Don't bother explaining it to him again — the man is a complete cementhead who thinks he already knows everything.

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.
