coffeeshop intellectualist

Part of the stupid 'public intellectualism' movement of poets and artentainers, who perform in Starbucks™ Cafes.
Also called starbuckism/ starbucking.
See also, beauty shop Nagel.

Guitar-wielding fake coffeeshop intellectualists come and play their ditties at Starbucks, Abdoun and Boooks@Cafe coffeeshops in Amman all with an air of put-on knowledge of 'cords' and fretboard theatrics, while they haven't got the first molecule of taste. They should at least buy good gits and read some good poetry.

machine-gun intellectualist

Reads a lot, says a lot, and misses the mark most of the time.

A machine-gun intellectualist is deafened by the sound of his/her own noise.

Intellectualist

Someone who expends a lot of effort on maintaining the image of being an intellectual. Mostly concerned about the appearance of being seen as intelligent in a voice chat, such as in Discord. The etymology of the word is a hybrid of the words intellectual and illusionist. Someone (probably stupid) that tries very hard to appear smart by doing things like talking over other people. gishgalloping, and using every logical fallacy they can to trick other stupid people into thinking that they've won arguments. They're closer to Alex Jones than an actual intellectual.

People on the Intellectualist server on Discord argue like klingons. They're more worried about winning arguments than constructing good arguments, which is why they deserve the name intellectualist. They're not actual intellectuals. (except maybe for Denzcon).
