balloon head

Inflated, hollow thinker

A balloon head is a stupid or foolish person—someone whose head seems filled with air rather than brains.

The insult suggests empty-headedness: Don't listen to that balloon head.

As an adjective, balloon-headed describes someone exhibiting such foolishness: What kind of balloon-headed idea is that?
