腦袋有洞 nǎodài yǒudòng

腦脑袋有洞 nǎodài yǒudòng (Taiwan)

VO. (Literal meaning is “having a hole in one’s head”)

It’s used to describe someone who is being foolish, stupid, or absent-minded. The slang suggests that the person’s brain has a hole, which makes them unable to think clearly or logically. It’s often used in a joking or lighthearted way to tease someone who has done something silly or made a mistake. However, it can also be used in a more serious tone to criticize someone’s behavior or decision-making skills.
