Nice Expressions to Describe Dumb People
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

A few clowns short of a circus.

A few fries short of a Happy Meal

A few Cokes short of a six-pack.

A few peas short of a casserole.

The wheel's spinning, but the hamster's dead.

One taco short of a combination plate.

A few feathers short of a whole duck.

All foam, no beer.

The cheese slid off his cracker.

Couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

He fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

An intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

As smart as bait.

Chimney's clogged.

Doesn't have all his dogs on one leash.

Forgot to pay his brain bill.

Her sewing machine's out of thread.

His belt doesn't go through all the loops.

Proof that evolution CAN go in reverse.

In the pinball game of life, his flippers were a little further apart than most.

4. Challenged and special.
Nothing against challenged or special people, but--I've been using those term a lot this week.

9. Six bricks shy of a full load
Edited on Wed Mar-08-06 10:26 PM by Hardhead
Elevator doesn't stop on all the floors.

Down here in the South, you can say whatever mean-spirited thing you want about anyone, as long as you amend it with, 'Bless his heart.' "Billy Bob is so stupid he couldn't pull a greased string out of a cat's ass. Bless his heart." That's everyone's que to laugh. :evilgrin:

13. Kangaroos in his top paddock
bright as a two-watt bulb
drives uphill with the clutch slipping
got space to sell between the ears
thick as the dust on a public servants out-tray
wouldn't know his arse from his elbow
Couldn't find his arse with both hands and a torch!

17. Some of those describe crazy people, not stupid people.
Oh, and you left "Republican" off your list.

18. Gets lost playing "peek-a-boo."
Went to the Stupid buffet a few too many times.

Needs a Post-it to remember to breathe.

His Hard drive's skipping.

Needs more RAM.

Got a megahertz brain in a gigahertz world.

Put his points in Strength and Con. (Gotta be a D&Der to get that one...)

All he needs is a hamster and a talking sword.... (That one's really obscure, but the reference comes from Baldur's Gate II.)

My goodness those people from Baldur's gate like insanity plus hamsters. It's in BG1 as well.

23. He doesn't have ulcers but, he's a carrier
He's been working with glue too much.

Got a full 6-pack but, lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all together.

This person has delusions of adequacy.

He sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

He's got two brain cells. One is lost and the other one is out looking for it.

The wheel is turning but, the hamster is dead.

Takes him two hours to watch 60 minutes.

One neuron short of a synapse.

It's hard to believe he beat out a million other sperm.

If you gave him a penny for his thoughts, you'd get change.

When his IQ reaches 50, he should sell.
