Scheiskopf

Pseudo german. A compound of "Scheisse"(=shit) and "Kopf"(=head) that forms the literal translation of the popular english insult "shithead". Doesn't really work in german, because "Scheiss-" is an equivalent of "fucking ...", so "Scheisskopf" would mean something like "fucking head".
"Scheissekopf" isn't an alternative, it doesn't work at all.

The boys looked up some words in the dictionary and came up with "scheissekopf".

scheißekopf

"scheiße" means shit;
"kopf" means head.

Each word by itself makes sense in German; the combination of these two words does not make sense.

English speakers put these two words together to make a new word, "shithead". This works in English. Doing so in German, however, does not work.

Just ask any German-speaking person: they'll tell you "scheißekopf" makes no sense in German.

To avoid sounding like a dummkopf, don't use the contrived and inaccurate term, scheißekopf.
