A Few Bricks Shy Of A Load Edit Meaning

1.

A kind euphamism for an assinine, brain-free, idiotic fool.

This colorful phrase, like not the brightest tool in the shed, not the sharpest pencil in the drawer, not playing with a full deck, and other similar turns of phrase, are lost on those who fit the description.

"That guy ain't right."

"Yeah, he's a few bricks shy of a load."

"I wonder if the doctor dropped him on his head when he was born."

See dumb, stupid, foolish, brain-dead, idiot, dummy
