muttonheaded

Thick as sheep

Muttonheaded means stupid or thick-skulled.

The insult compares someone's intelligence to that of a sheep—an animal not celebrated for its brainpower.

That muttonheaded clerk filed everything under the wrong name.

The noun muttonhead works the same way: Don't be such a muttonhead.
