In Scotland it's "A couple of pieces short of a picnic", a piece being a sandwich
Like his brain is not complete or something didn't get it not sure.
"He's not all there" is the most basic version of this saying.
"He's got a few tools missing from the shed" is an aussie version too.
Not the brightest fork in the tool shed, are they?
Not the sharpest crayon in the bunch?
It means they went for a picnic and lo and behold, a smarter-than-average bear stole their pic-a-nic basket
