Definition
A slang or colloquial term for someone who is stubborn, irritable, or difficult to get along with.
Etymology
Compound of 'bit' (a small amount) and 'head,' suggesting someone with a small amount of sense or reason, used colloquially starting in the 19th century as a mild insult.
Kelly Says
This word is a perfect example of how everyday insults encode whole personalities—'bitthead' doesn't just mean rude, it specifically implies someone is stubborn about small things, which is oddly precise for slang.
