blockhead

1. (rare) To behave in a stupid manner.Examples: "Two years' blockading made fair Malta ours: A noble struggle! -- yet 't is thought (at Rading) That Britain's island shews superior pow'rs, To bear, and to survive, two years blockheading !"; "I have blockheading and boxing enough at Master Lovell's, I won't have it repeated here; and in a great passion, I threw the Virgil at his head, hit him in the face, and bruised his lip, and ran away."; "The operation of blockheading is much the same as that of beheading, which Charles I underwent. In both the head is severed from the body. The body goes around without benefit of head. The victim becomes a Headless Horseman, or that more common figure a Headless Pedestrian. In our day the operation is often done not on an executioner's block but on Paradise Avenue in Suburbia Manor."rare

1. (slang) A fan of the American boy band New Kids on the Block.Examples: "McCartneymania seemed to be a chance for the parents of Blockheads, the kids who swarmed the New Kids on the Block last week, to do a little gawking of their own."; "During Danny [Wood]’s solo spot in a New Kids concert, which comes about three-quarters of the way into the show, you can see five to ten minutes of the breakdancing routine that made him famous on the streets of Boston—and when he’s feeling particularly limber, he’ll spin on his head. (Please, do not attempt to do this, Blockheads)!"; "There’s no doubt it has the right stuff to lure both Blockheads and those who didn’t grow up listening to Donnie Wahlberg’s New Kids on the Block or Mark [Wahlberg]’s Funky Bunch."slang
