cabbagehead
Dense garden vegetable
A cabbagehead is a stupid person—someone whose head might as well be filled with cabbage rather than brains.
The insult is old-fashioned and mild, more likely to appear in period fiction than modern speech: Don't be such a cabbagehead.
It belongs to a family of vegetable-based insults alongside meathead and blockhead.
