I knew the meaning a long time ago.  Someone posted it on the forum.

I'm waiting for him to get wife'd up so we can have Kinderkopf...in the mean time, I only have dummkopf to resort to.

So this is something I've been wondering? "Kaesekopf"... I get the sense that it's German, but what does it mean? My current thought is, maybe it means "cheese cop". Because "-kopf" probably means "cop". And then "kaese" looks like it may come from the Latin "caseus", from whence we get English "cheese" and Spanish "queso".

edit - I just looked up the word "Kopf" and it's not "cop" but "cup". Though it doesn't really mean "cup" either... it means "head". So, cheesehead? I now notice that Kaesekopf is from Wisconsin, and "cheesehead" pertains to people from Wisconsin, or Green Bay Packers fans or something...

I enjoyed how you worked this like an equation.  Daniel style  :)
