What does this mean? Could someone explain?

Obtuse can be a geometry term as in an obtuse angle. But in this case, I
think the OP was asking if someone was being deliberately stupid and
insensitive.

Because it means Dull. Not sharp. An acute angle is a sharp angle. An
obtuse angle is all flat-headed and NOT sharp.

Good. I didn't know what it was. In the SCA it would be "Order of
Precedence" or "out of period," and I knew it wasn't either of those, so I
just skipped it by.
