philistine-tastic

The (usually sarcastic) celebration of the philistine ideals of low-brow, materialistic culture over the "highly overrated' ideals of an intellectually curious, artistically creative one.

My knuckledragger boyfriend is so perfect for me. I especially love his philistine-tastic pea brain. It's his second best feature.

Philisophical lip service

A person giving "philisophical lip service" is someone who elaborates about specific ways, principles and ideals that one should live by, but they themselves do not implement these beliefs in their own lives.

One person in a crowd that will use "philisophical lip service" to control the conversation by insisting that their beliefs are the ways to live by. They do not take others' opinions and ideas into consideration, shutting down any input by others, however they themselves do not practice in their own lives what they preach. In essence, a hypocrite who is a self centered egotistical, self rightous asshole
