Sometimes the need arises to express your opinion of a person's low intelligence, but you don't want to just rudely say it straight out. Here are a few creative euphemisms for the word "stupid" that might come in handy.

Roos are loose in the top paddock
Thick as two short planks
Thick as a brick
Drongo impressionist
Smart as a roo in traffic
Failed kindy


A few Galahs on the wires
It went through to the keeper
(for those who miss the joke or point of a message)

So dense, light bends around him.
Doesn’t have all the dots on his dice
Doesn’t have both oars in the water
Got a leak in his think-tank
His belt doesn’t go through all the loops
His mind is like a rubber bear trap
He would be out of his depth in a mud puddle
As smart as bait
A few clowns short of a circus
A few peas short of a casserole
Has never opened his mouth without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge
What's on your mind? If you'll forgive the overstatement
If he ever had a bright idea it would be beginner's luck
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain this to you
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle
He sounds like he is unencumbered by the thought process
If I ate a bowl of alphabet soup, I could $hit out a sentence smarter than any of yours
 
From Loretta Lynn in "Coal Miner's Daughter,"
"No more sense 'nere a rabbit."

We're struck by the wisdom of this one every year when the rabbits chose our backyard to have their babies in.
The only yard for miles that is fenced in and contains a dachshund.
 
Here's one I heard in West Virginia:

He's just happy to be here.
This one really cracks me up I told it to my husband on our way to run errands and we found so many chances to use it.

The best was when he was trying to drop me off close to our restaurant but a car was blocking the ramp. After I got out and walked to the ramp I could see the guy was parked directly in front of the Mystic Head Shop. No wonder he didn't move for us, he was just happy to be there!
