cabbage heads

Leafy vegetable cores

Cabbage heads are the dense, leafy spheres harvested from cabbage plants, formed by tightly packed leaves growing around a central core.

The term also serves as a mild insult for someone considered stupid or slow-witted, playing on the idea of a head filled with vegetable matter rather than brains.

Those cabbage heads in accounting lost the invoice again.
