Too stupid to get the right angle? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtuse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'too stupid' is the first definition.
'obtuse' can be an answer for 'stupid' (similar in meaning). I am not sure about the 'too' bit.

'the right angle?' is the second definition.
'obtuse' can be an answer for 'angle?' (obtuse angle is a kind of angle). I'm not certain of the 'the right' bit.

'to get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for obtuse that I've seen before include "Annoyingly insensitive" , "Slow, dull" , "boneheaded?" , "A 3dn between 90 and 180 degrees" , "(Of angle) between 90deg and 180deg - dull" .)
