English[edit]
Adjective[edit]
fuzzy-minded (comparative more fuzzy-minded, superlative most fuzzy-minded)
- (possibly offensive) Alternative form of fuzzy-headed: characterized by vague or confused thinking, dull-witted.
Usage notes[edit]
As an insult, although present use is generally understood as an allusion to having a mind full of wool, the original racist supposed connection between hair similar to wool and intelligence can make this and similar terms offensive.
