chowderheaded

Dense as soup

Chowderheaded means stupid or dim-witted, with the implication that one's head is full of something thick and undifferentiated—like chowder.

The word is old-fashioned and mildly humorous rather than cutting: That chowderheaded nephew of mine locked his keys in the car again.

A chowderhead is such a person.
