noun

Einfaltspinsel, Dummkopf

A dull or ignorant person. It survives today in the term jaywalking.

Examples :

"Back in the day, calling someone a "jay" was a way to suggest they were a bit naive or unsophisticated; it's similar to how we now use "jaywalking" to describe someone ignorantly crossing the street without looking. "

Früher war es eine Möglichkeit, jemanden als „Einfaltspinsel“ zu bezeichnen, um anzudeuten, dass er etwas naiv oder ungebildet war; das ist ähnlich wie bei „Jaywalking“, um jemanden zu beschreiben, der unwissend die Straße überquert, ohne zu schauen.
