Definition

Lacking culture; without cultural refinement, traditions, or aesthetic development.

Etymology

From culture + -less (without). The suffix -less comes from Old English leas (without).

Kelly Says

Calling something 'cultureless' is actually pretty offensive because every human group has culture—what people really mean is 'I don't understand or respect this culture,' not that it doesn't exist.
