Morphology

boofheaded + remark

The noun 'remark' is transparent, and the adjective-forming pattern '-headed' is productive in English (e.g., 'thick-headed', 'hot-headed'), so a learner who knew the parts could infer a meaning like 'having a head characterized by boof' → 'foolish'. However 'boof' is not a recognized dictionary item and appears to be slang or nonce, so the exact sense is unpredictable without exposure, making the overall phrase only partially inferable.

Etymology

Boofheaded remark may come from the silly sound boof plus headed meaning 'in the head', giving a picture of someone saying something so clumsy or stupid it feels like a little bump on the head. That's why it is used for a 'foolish or stupid comment'.
