squarest
Least hip person
Squarest is the superlative of square in its slang sense—most conventional, old-fashioned, or uncool.
A square is someone out of touch with current trends or resistant to unconventional behavior: He was the squarest guy at the party, refusing to dance.
The term peaked in mid-20th-century hipster and beatnik slang but remains understood.
