pumpkin head

Dim-witted simpleton type

Pumpkin head is a mild insult for someone considered stupid or foolish—the implication being their head is as empty as a hollowed-out pumpkin.

It can also describe someone with a notably round or large head: Look at that pumpkin head on his shoulders.

The term is playful rather than cutting, often used affectionately.
