2. A reproach for someone who completed a request either incompletely and incorrectly, usually out of laziness: especially if the task was simple or explained several times; stupid

3. A reproach for someone who is only half listening and giving inappropriate or no response

4. Hard-headed, stubborn
He acted hard of understanding when I asked him to bring in the groceries, only bringing in the bags in the front seat and pretending not to see those in the back seat.
