Sense 2: "Any individual who annoys and frustrates others to the point of making them want to slap their own heads." This Brit hasn't ever heard of it. Equinox ◑ 17:38, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
- I've never heard of it used like that either. Worth noting that when it was originally added it just said "A euphamisim [sic] for getting caught doing something stupid", and it morphed into the current gloss over time. There's a similar definition on Urban Dictionary, the one added January 14, 2006, that mentions "slaphead moment" as a use case and in that sense I found one durable cite here ("We had had a slaphead moment during our work on the CD-ROM"), but the context is Canadian and not British. Seems hard to attest anyway. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 14:06, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
