pinheads

Fools or fastener-tips

Pinheads are people considered stupid or foolish—their heads presumably no bigger than the head of a pin.

The insult suggests someone incapable of holding much thought: Those pinheads in management have no idea what they're doing.

Literally, a pinhead is the small, rounded end of a pin.
