  In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".  

Boeotian [bee-oh-shuhn]

hear it pronounced  

adjective
1. of or pertaining to Boeotia or its inhabitants.
2. dull; obtuse; without cultural refinement.

  noun
3. a native or inhabitant of Boeotia.
4. a dull, obtuse person; Philistine.

Etymology: Origin: Boeotian

1590–1600; Boeoti(a) + -an "ignorant, dull," from Boeotia, district around Thebes in ancient Greece (said to have been so called for its cattle pastures), whose inhabitants were characterized as proverbially dull and countrified by their neighbors, the Athenians. The Boeotians presumably held reciprocal opinions, but their great writers, Plutarch and Pindar, though patriots, are full of praise for Athenian deeds and institutions.

Boeotian

We boeotian are not culturally unrefined: How many people can burb and sound just like the Chipmunks? Besides if not for the boeotians who would do the styling of women's hair?

[NeoCaveman]

There are a whole lot of boeotians on the federal payroll.

The only thing I can conjure up for the word “Boeotian” is that it’s a fitting adjective to describe the aroma emanating from the feminazis who braid their axillary hair.
