bullhead
Whiskered bottom feeder
A bullhead is a freshwater catfish with a large, broad head and no scales, common in North American waters.
The name also applies to various other fish with oversized heads.
As a personality trait, a bullhead is someone stubbornly obstinate—the image being a head too thick to absorb new information: Don't be such a bullhead about this.
