low-minded
Coarse in thought
Low-minded describes someone preoccupied with base, vulgar, or ignoble concerns—crude humor, petty schemes, or unseemly interests.
The term implies a lack of refinement or elevated thought: low-minded gossip, a low-minded pursuit of profit at any cost.
It's somewhat old-fashioned and literary, contrasting with high-minded.
