He's slow on the uptake, so even if you explain it to him, he has trouble understanding.
If you can't even understand something that simple, aren't you a bit dim-witted?
Kanji 巡 patrol, go around, circumference Related words 頭あたま が 悪わる い More direct and common way to say 'stupid' or 'unintelligent', without the idiomatic nuance of poor blood circulation.
鈍にぶ い Means 'dull' or 'slow' in a broader sense, including physical slowness or lack of sharpness, not specifically mental slowness.
Etymology The expression is based on the folk belief that poor blood circulation to the brain leads to slow thinking. The exact origin is uncertain, but it is a common idiomatic phrase in modern Japanese.
