Ahh, interesting.
Thanks for the etymology everyone. 

Boyd pronounced it "bofhead" & I think I deduced the spelling rather than every seeing it written.

To bring it full circle, Boyd Roberts was from New South Wales, so chances are he used the word boofhead more than once, probably with a grin and a bit of cheek. He had a great sense of humour.

This spring marks 20 years since his passing. Good friends like him are never forgotten.
