look up anything, like your first name:
1. Intellectual dishonesty
Intellectual dishonesty is the advocacy of a position known to be false. An argument which is misused to advance an agenda or to reinforce one's deeply held beliefs in the face of overwhelming evidence contrary.

The terms intellectually dishonest and intellectual dishonesty are often used as rhetorical devices in a debate; the label invariably frames an opponent in a negative light. It is a round about way to say "you're lying".

The statement that all hurricanes are caused by global warming is intellectually dishonest. Stating as fact that lung cancer is unrelated to cigarette smoking is intellectual dishonesty.
2. delta gamma
Delta Gamma offers to women of all ages a rich heritage based on principles of personal integrity, personal responsibility and intellectual honesty. Its primary purpose is to foster high ideals of friendship, promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense of social responsibility, and develop the finest qualities of character.
In 129 years, Delta Gamma has initiated more than 190,000 women as members.
3. Genesis
Probably the most representative Progressive-Art Rock band ever.
Albums like Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Selling England By The Pound are absolute masterpieces of 20th century's music.
The only real Genesis is the Mk2 lineup: Peter Gabriel (voice, flute), Steve Hackett (guitar), Mike Rutherford (rithm guitar, 12 strings guitar), Tony Banks (keyboards) and Phil Collins (drums, backing vocals). After Gabriel's and Hackett's departure (respecctively in 1975 and 1977), the band committed the most disgusting musical suicide of all times. Under the influence of Collins, Genesis kept the original name but threw away a decade of good music and intellectual honesty by becoming a ridiculous pop band. People who declare to prefer the Collins-era Genesis are likely to be fucking morons or not interested in good music at all, thus deserving the title of fucking morons anyway.

Gabriel and Hackett then started a fruitful and highly appreciated solo career, while Collins began writing corny, useless love songs.
Banks released some solo works too; nothing interesting or musically relevant, though. Rutherford formed pop rock group "Mike and The Mechanics", a forgettable easy listening hits factory.
If you put a bunch of progressive-rock lovers into a room and asked them to vote for their all-time favorite classic prog group, I suspect that Genesis would win handily. A perfect example of this popularity is the fact that no other group has so strongly influenced the so-called neo-prog bands of the 80s and 90s. When it was time for prog to make a comeback, it was mostly Genesis to which the new young musicians turned. Would there even be a Marillion, Pendragon, IQ, Citizen Cane, Jadis, Magellan, Glass Hammer, Cairo, Crucible, Like Wendy, Flamborough Head, Sylvan, or Metaphor (to name only a few) if there had never been a Genesis? No way!

4. intellectually honest
Opposite if "intellectually dishonest"; an unemotional, logical, and "honest" expression of the truth without the omission of any suporting facts. Yet another buzz word that is itself an example of what it tries to define usually used by rightwingers.
The buzz word or catch phrase "intellectually honest" is itself intelelctually dishonest. This is because you are either being honest or your not; there's no "intellect" involved.
5. spaniard
A person from Spain who can never shut up or at least talk quietly.
The male is a mix of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza: he is obsessed with food and sees the world as it best suits his ego. Intellectual honesty, reason and empiricism are alien concepts to him. He enjoys ham, alcohol, and domestic violence.
The female is much like the male although unsurprisingly she does not enjoy domestic violence. Female Spaniards are also fantastic in bed, if and when they stop talking.
Both sexes are ferociously proud of what Spain has given to the world, even if it is only the one book.
The non-Spaniard is the centre of his mother's world; the Spaniard is the centre of the world.
How does a Spaniard commit suicide? He jumps from his ego.
Look at all the Spaniards who have given the thumbs-down to this definition.
6. critic
An objective speaker of the truth. They are commonly seen as low-lifes due to the negative image painted of them by haters. In actuality, most critics are intellectual underdogs.
Artist: Well?
Critic: It's pretty good, though your proportion is slightly off.
Artisti: Hmm, you have a point.

Snobby Artist: Well?
Critic: It's pretty good, though your proportion is slightly off.
Snobby Artist: Oh, as if YOU could do better. Pshaw. I'm gonna go drink tea and listen to Beethoven with my friends. Ta-ta!
7. Grouchy Old Cripple
an ultra-partisan blog where posts that contain dissenting opinions are distorted by the administrator in order to buttress the shaky foundation on which his simplistic world view is founded. In this twisted microcosm, the humiliation of dissenters is achieved by distortion rather than by a display of superior logic or a greater mastery of the facts. The resultant dearth of posts with opposing viewpoints preserves the echo chamber that is essential for maintaining a thriving culture of ignorance. In this enclave of ill-informed demagogues, people with a shaky grasp of science and history take undeserved pleasure in congratulating themselves on being smarter than professionals who possess advanced degrees dealing with these subjects.
I was browsing this blog called Grouchy Old Cripple the other day and I realized that there was a lack of opposing viewpoints; however, I soon noticed the clear disclaimer that any posters with ideological differences would promptly have their posts edited in an unflattering way - at least there was this single shred of intellectual honesty on the site.
