  • bumpkin
    Definition: (noun) A person who is not very intelligent or interested in culture. Synonyms: chawbacon, hayseed, hick, rube, yahoo, yokel. Usage: Many people take one look at Farmer Dan and assume he is an unsophisticated country bumpkin, but his lectures on sustainable agriculture teach them never to judge a book by its cover. Discuss
