numbnuts

Dense, oblivious person

Numbnuts is a mildly vulgar insult for someone considered stupid or incompetent.

The term suggests a person so dense their genitals have gone numb—implying a lack of basic awareness or sensation.

Often used in exasperation: Nice going, numbnuts.

The word is crude but rarely deeply offensive, landing somewhere between playful ribbing and genuine contempt.
