chucklehead
Harmless dim bulb
A chucklehead is a fool or blockhead—someone whose judgment or intelligence you're mocking, usually with more amusement than malice.
The word sounds old-fashioned and playful: Don't be such a chucklehead.
It belongs to a family of "-head" insults (bonehead, knucklehead) that question someone's mental capacity without real venom.
