"You have good meat on your head." is this a metaphor ?
  

Top answer

Not one that I've ever heard! I don't even know what it's supposed to mean. The same as "You have a good head on your shoulders"?

Certainly not if they really do have good meat on their head. But why would anyone put meat -- good or spoiled -- on their head? Is this the latest craze at the local milliners' convention?

Given the absurdity of the literal interpretation, it could definitely be something metaphoric

It sounds like it's supposed to be a metaphor.

I've never heard it before.

I don't know what it means.

It sounds almost obscene to me. Maybe it's a word-for-word translation of an idiom from another language...
