A bonehead is a stupid person — someone who does something thick, careless, or slow. It is informal and rude, more American than British. Friends may say it while laughing, but it can still sting. The joke inside the word is that the person's head is all bone, with no room for a brain. You will also hear boneheaded for a stupid act: a boneheaded mistake. It is not a medical word, and it is not kind enough for a classroom about a real student.
笨蛋；榆木腦袋（口語，罵人笨）
組成From bone + head: a head that seems to be bone, with no brains.

- Musical Potterism, for example, is everywhere rampant. It bobs up in music criticisms and peeps forth in daily intercourse.
