A satisfying insult for someone acting foolish, dim-witted, or spectacularly clueless.
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.
