A sandwich short of a picnic: Idiom and euphemistic expression used to indicate that someone is somewhat lacking in intelligence. Similar expressions with more or less a same meaning: a sandwich short of a picnic a few beers short of a six-pack one brick short of a load a few fish short of a hatstand not playing with a full deck [of cards] to have bats in the belfrey to have kangeroo loose in the top paddock as crazy as a sack full of ferrets out to lunch as nutty as a fruit cake as mad as a hatter the lift doesn't go to the top floor the lights are on, but nobody's home to have a screw loose not the sharpest knife in the drawer not hitting on all six cylinders

It's a "witty" way of insulting your intelligence - like saying you've got a screw loose...
A can short of a six-pack
The light's on, but nobody's home
Branches don't go all the way to the top of the tree
Not the sharpest tool in the shed
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer

LOL - think it out.
It is a Slang term for something unfinished or not well thought out or not all there. More common one with same meaning is "A few bricks short of a load."
psssstttt .... you could always ask the person who said it.

A full cards short of a deck, a few bulbs short of a box, etc... The person was saying you are dumb or crazy. Smack 'em one.

That is an expression meaning someone isn't dealing with a full deck to use another similar meaning expression.

Someone was unkindly insulting your intelligence. It's a phrase with many variations. They were trying to be clever, but are really being hackneyed.
