mullethead
Someone lacking sense
A mullethead is a stupid person.
The insult draws on the mullet—a common, unremarkable fish—suggesting someone as dull-witted as a bottom-feeder.
Don't be such a mullethead.
The word is old-fashioned and mild, more likely found in vintage fiction than contemporary speech.
