Definitions
A colorful insult for someone who's thick-headed, dim, or just plain stupid — their brain seemingly made of gristle rather than functioning grey matter. It has that satisfying Anglo-Saxon bluntness that makes insults genuinely fun to say. Not especially widespread but totally self-explanatory: if someone called you a gristlehead, you'd know exactly what they meant without needing a dictionary.
Don't be such a gristlehead — anyone can see the answer is right there in front of you.

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.
