lunkheads

Dense, foolish folks

Lunkheads is the plural of lunkhead, a mildly insulting term for a stupid or slow-witted person.

The word suggests dense, blockish thinking—someone whose head might as well be a lump: Those lunkheads couldn't figure out how to read a map.

It's casual and slightly old-fashioned, more affectionate than cutting.
