Editor: I wasn't able to find anything in YB's orthography book about this type of term.

He does mention adjectives of the form noun+adjective, such as 枣红 (p.347). But I would argue that 嘴笨, unlike 枣红, is (or is like) a *phrase*.
嘴笨: (his) mouth is clumsy
枣红: jujube-red (not "jujube is red")

ABC regards 嘴笨 as a phrase:
嘴笨 zuǐ bèn v.p. be inarticulate | Tā zuǐ hěn bèn. 他嘴很笨。 He is very clumsy of speech.

So I'll leave the pinyin as it is for now.
Diff:
# - 嘴笨 嘴笨 [[zui3 ben4]] /inarticulate/
# + 嘴笨 嘴笨 [[zui3ben4]] /inarticulate/
