Etymology
Lowbrowed comes from the parts low and brow, where brow means 'forehead', and it plays off the word highbrow. A helpful way to remember it is that a 'low' brow was used to suggest less interest in high culture, so lowbrowed describes people or tastes that are not very cultured or intellectual.
