as thick as a brick

[shabani]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what this idiom means?
"Some people are as thick as a brick"

thanks

It's a rather uncouth way of saying that somebody is very unintelligent.

You can also be 'as thick as two short planks, pigsh** or various other colourful expresions.

"Thick as a Brick" is also the title of Jethro Tull's prog masterpiece: Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick - YouTube

(Not really relevant, but perhaps you'll like the song.)

... perhaps you'll like the song.

Not really, . I think that I can say of you and me, BC, the first two lines of Hank Williams - We Live In Two Different Worlds - YouTube

Hank Williams' music could serve as a highway between the two worlds I believe.

Indeed. Even if it couldn't, I know that you appreciate Cash, so I can forgive you an occasional lapse

At least- an extraordinary talent.
