flat-headed

Without a curve

Flat-headed describes something with a level or horizontal top surface rather than a rounded, pointed, or domed one: flat-headed screws, flat-headed nails.

The term also appears in the names of various animals: flat-headed cat, flat-headed snake.

As an insult, flat-headed suggests stupidity, as if the skull lacks room for brains.
