EN: dullness; stupidity
When the gunting in the kitchen can't even cut paper, that's kapulpulan. When your friend still doesn't get the joke after you've explained it three times, that's also kapulpulan. It’s the state of being hopelessly blunt or dense, whether it's a knife or a mind.
From 'ka-' + 'pulpol' + '-an'.
Can be considered offensive when used to describe a person's intelligence. More commonly used to describe the bluntness of objects.
