Meaning & Usage
01
"blockhead / thick-headed fool"
Calling someone a ram means they're stubborn and stupid — headbutting their way through life without any brain behind the force. It's a satisfying insult because rams genuinely look stupid while being aggressive, which is exactly the combination you're accusing someone of.
