Airheads

Airheads is a derogatory term referring to individuals perceived as unintelligent, foolish, or scatterbrained. The term often implies a lack of seriousness, common sense, or intellectual depth. It can be applied to people who seem to be lost in thought, easily distracted, or lacking in practical abilities. This label is frequently used in informal settings, to describe someone's perceived lack of intellect or judgment, but it should be noted that using this term can be considered offensive or dismissive of others. It is best to avoid using this term, unless in a non-serious context. This word can be applied to a single person, or a collective group depending on context.
