airhead
Vacant-minded individual
An airhead is a stupid or scatterbrained person, someone whose head seems filled with air rather than brains: Don't be such an airhead—read the instructions.
The term is mildly insulting and often applied to women, though it can describe anyone perceived as ditzy or oblivious.
In military contexts, an airhead is a secured area for receiving troops and supplies by air, analogous to a beachhead.
