I'm presuming they mean bricklayer, rather than a thick person. But I'm still surprised you've not heard it used like that?
Yes, I understood it as bricklayer. Didn't even think about it being a pejorative for a "thick person" but maybe that's implied since the good education meant avoiding such a job?
I dunno, just hadn't heard the term before, genuinely.
