    In historical context, member of the nation or tribe of the Philistines in ancient Canaan. Name Palestine is derived from that tribe.

    In modern contect, a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts. Often also include a boorish person or bigot or hypocrite (yeah thank Bible for that, Philistines were the enemy of ancient kingdom of Israel so they got smeared in the book).
