kötfejek

Kötfejek is a Hungarian term that translates literally to "rope heads." It is often used colloquially to refer to individuals who are perceived as being overly zealous, stubborn, or fanatical in their beliefs or actions. The term can carry a negative connotation, implying a lack of flexibility or an unwillingness to consider alternative perspectives.

The origin of the phrase is not definitively known, but it is thought to be an idiomatic expression that has been part of the Hungarian language for a significant period. It might allude to the image of someone being so tightly bound to their ideas that their head appears to be made of rope, unable to move or change.

In common usage, "kötfejek" might be applied to people who rigidly adhere to a particular ideology, political stance, or even a specific way of doing things, often to the point of being unreasonable. It is a descriptive term used in informal conversation to express a mild disapproval or exasperation with someone's inflexible mindset. The context in which "kötfejek" is used can sometimes determine the severity of the judgment, but it generally points to a perceived lack of open-mindedness.
