1. Isn't the correct term "chucklehead"?

I mean, what the heck's a knucklehead?

2. What the heck's a "Chucklehead"?

Or Lane-Brain
Chowderhead

I grew up watching the Three Stooges and have a million of them.

5. Maybe someone who's always chuckling?

That could get on a person's nerves.

3. I think it's anti-canadian.

No, wait, that's canucklehead.

4. No ....

not a derivative of any ethnic word/insult/slur that I can research. Goes hand-in-hand with bonehead & sh*t for brains, just not as far down that spectrum.

6. Silly you....

but i didn't figure out that 'cotton-pickin' and 'picka ninny' were slurs until my late teens. Shame on me.

7. No, I consider it a dummy slur

8. No.

Since my father often used it in reference to me, I thought it was a term of endearment.

9. It's a slur against stupid people.

So it's okay by me:) .
