Get the Philisiwe mug.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.

a famous problem in the field of concurrency (a sub-field in computer science, for the uninitiated) that discusses an approach to allocate a fixed number of resources among several consumers. here is the actual dining philosophers problem (DPP)...
"A certain number of philosophers spend their lives alternating between thinking and eating. They are seated around a circular table. There is a fork placed between each pair of neighboring philosophers. Each philosopher has access to the forks at her left and right. In order to eat, a philosopher must be in possession of both forks. A philosopher may only pick up one fork at a time. Each philosopher attempts to pick up the left fork first and then the right fork. When done eating, a philosopher puts both forks back down on the table and begins thinking. Since the philosophers are sharing forks, it is not possible for all of them to be eating at the same time."

Get the dining philosophers mug.The CORRECT title for the first installment of the well known Harry Potter book or film series. JK Rowling has personally said that her biggest regret about the series is the name change in some countries, and she thinks of it as 'Philosopher's'.
It makes much more sense calling it 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' as a Philosopher's Stone is a real item that alchemists tried to create hundreds of years ago. Nicholas Flamel is also known to have been working on this. Throughout history, there is no record of any concept known as the 'Sorcerer's Stone'.

Get the Philosification mug.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
