How to use "Wooden-headed" in context?
Most people are familiar with the monikers "wooden-headed" or "dumb-headed." But, what does the fact that someone has a wooden head mean? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term "wooden-headed" is derived from the Old French word bois or the Latin word albumen, meaning "tree root." In anatomical terms, a person with a wooden head is said to have a denuded cranium, or a skull that is almost entirely devoid of hair. This is due to the fact that few people have hair growing on the top of their heads.
