flatheaded
Without a point
Flatheaded describes something with a flat top or front surface.
A flatheaded screw has a countersunk head that sits flush with the surface.
Flatheaded can also describe certain animals, especially catfish with characteristically flattened skulls.
As an insult, it means stupid—having a head with nothing much inside: That flatheaded idiot broke the machine again.
