"Not the sharpest pencil in the box/cup" = không phải chiếc bút chì mài nhọn nhất trong hộp -> nghĩa là không thông minh, thiếu khôn ngoan, khù khờ.

Ví dụ
He’s not the sharpest pencil in the box. He thinks companies endorse (tán thành) him instead of the other way around.

I would argue, based on both the public and private dealings with him, that Kriel is not the sharpest pencil in the box.

The cyclists were also described as being “not the sharpest pencil in the box” and “organ donors” (hiến tặng nội tạng) among other things.

The political view (quan điểm chính trị) of each cartoonish (tranh biếm họa) is easily identified. Opponents (đối lập) of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tend to see him as a corrupt tyrant (bạo chúa tham nhũng). Opponents of “Blue and White” party chief Benny Gantz tend to see him as not the sharpest pencil in the pencil case.
