Doesn't blunt also imply slow-wittedness?
- Inglês (EUA)
Not really. It implies candor and frankness and sometimes tactlessness:

Let me be blunt--that shirt is ugly.

When using these words as describing words:
Blunt is very straight forward and to the point. Telling things exactly as they appear to be.
"He is so blunt you can trust him not to lie."
Obtuse however is vague and hard to understand. Not telling your point exactly as you mean it.
"I never know what he is talking about, his words are always so obtuse."
