What does "Sorry for being dense." mean? Hello all! The expression "Sorry for being dense." has the same meaning as "Sorry for being stupid." or "Sorry for my ignorance."? Can I use it in a formal conversation? One more question : What the difference among : - Sorry for being dense. - Sorry to be dense. - Sorry to seem dense. Could you please give some examples? Thanks for helping me. :)

Yes, you can use it. Its meaning is THICKHEADED, slow to understand, or stupid. I can't believe she cheated on him and didn't tell him for a whole month, she thought everything would be okay, shes sooo dense. Sorry to seem dense, but are there really Martians? Sorry for being dense, but what is a conehead? - Sorry for being dense. - Sorry to be dense. - Sorry to seem dense. All of the above have basically the same meaning. When the adjective "dense" is followed by a linking verb (to seem or to be, etc.) it expresses a state but no action.
