so this seriously happened. I googled "Philistine, antonym" and my browser crashed.

Not sure what to make of that.
The opposite of a Philistine would be a cultured, worldly person who is a fan of civilization and cultural exchange (as it existed in the Hellenistic world).

Well I know that, but I wanted just ONE word. So whats the one word?

My kid asks me all the time what words mean and I give him the fifty word definition. He's old enough now to say, "Can't you just give me a synonym, mom?"

Uh, no?

Okay. The opposite of Philistine in a word, to me anyway, would be cultured.

Indian food sounds like people who speak Hindi are trying to screw with English speakers as a revenge for the Raj.

Pizza is awesome.

Indian food sucks.

People who put pineapple on pizza are only one step higher on the loser ladder than people who put salt on watermelon.
