lame brains
Not very bright
Lame brains is a mild insult for stupid or foolish people: Those lame brains left the gate open and the dog got out.
The singular lamebrain works as both noun and adjective: a lamebrain idea.
The term suggests incompetence rather than malice—more eye-roll than genuine offense.
