Definitions
A satisfying insult for someone acting foolish, dim-witted, or spectacularly clueless. The 'dill' part echoes Australian and British slang where 'dill' itself means an idiot, and 'brain' adds that delicious irony — suggesting a brain that's about as useful as a sprig of herb. It's the kind of mild-but-pointed insult you'd hurl at someone who just did something monumentally silly, more exasperated than genuinely mean.
You absolute dillbrain — you forgot the tickets after we reminded you three times.

- der-brain71%
A mildly derogatory slang term for a stupid or foolish person, derived from the mock-scornful exclamation 'der' (also spelled 'duh') used to imply that something obvious has been missed. The compound frames the target as someone who responds to everything with a slow, dull 'der'. Largely dated in current use but still comprehensible and occasionally deployed for retro comic effect.
