airhead noun (People and Society)
In North American slang, a stupid person; someone who speaks or
acts unintelligently.
Etymology: Formed by compounding: someone whose head is full of
air; perhaps influenced by the earlier form bubblehead (which
goes back to the fifties).
History and Usage: Airhead has been a favourite American and
Canadian term of abuse since the beginning of the eighties, used
especially for the unintelligent but attractive type of woman
that the British call a bimbo. At first airhead was associated
with teenage Valspeak, but it soon spread into more general use
among all age-groups. Although very common in US English by the
mid eighties, airhead did not start to catch on in the UK or
Australia until the end of the decade.
His comedies of manners are very funny, and the vain
airheads who populate his novels are wonderfully drawn.
