Butt-Head

Snickering cartoon idiot

Butt-Head is a character from the animated series *Beavis and Butt-Head*, the slightly smarter half of a dim-witted teenage duo known for crude humor and mockery.

The name combines insult with absurdity—someone whose head is figuratively up their own rear.

Used independently, it's a mild, often playful insult for someone acting stupid or obnoxious: Don't be such a butt-head.
