small head
Diminutive skull size
Small head describes someone with limited intelligence or mental capacity—the head being a stand-in for the brain it contains.
The phrase appears in casual insults and self-deprecating humor: My small head can't wrap itself around quantum physics.
It also refers literally to a physically undersized cranium, whether describing anatomy, hat sizes, or artistic proportions.
