lowminded
Crude in thought
Lowminded describes someone preoccupied with base, vulgar, or ignoble concerns—the opposite of highbrow or elevated thinking.
A lowminded person dwells on petty gossip, crude humor, or selfish interests rather than loftier pursuits: His lowminded jokes embarrassed everyone at dinner.
The word carries moral judgment, suggesting coarseness of character rather than mere lack of education.
