knucklehead
Definition: A stupid person.
Example: 1) Charlie's a real knucklehead -- he's been in first grade for five
years!
2) You knucklehead! How could you have mixed the the dog food with the cereal?
Etymology: A 'knuckle' is a joint or a place where bones meet, particularly th
e bones of the hand. This word suggests that someone's head looks like or has
been hit by a hand, thus making the person stupid. And for whatever reason, th
e phrase just sounds funny.
Synonyms: bonehead, idiot
