This is for expressions that mean that someone is just not very smart. There are dozens and dozens of expressions used to convey this worldwide.

Here's a few to get started:

"His elevator (lift) doesn't reach the top floor."

"His bread isn't quite done."

"She don't have both her oars in the water."

"Reckon he's about half a bubble off plumb."

"Couldn't find his butt with both hands and a map!"

"She's about a quart low on oil."

He's a couple of french-fries short a happy meal

His lights are on but nobody's home.

She's dumber than a box of rocks.

She's about as bright as a burnt out lightbulb.

"She'd look for bones in animal crackers."

"He's not wrapped too tight."

"She's as flighty as a hummingbird."

"His boat is leaking faster than he can bail."
