A term of disparagement applied to a literary critic, implying the character traits of an overeducated shithead. Usually tarred with the postmodern brush as "pomo lit-critter".
"Dang! We are beset by lit-critters! Let loose toxic sarcasm!"
"Bill Clinton did his turn as a pomo lit-critter by testifying on the ambiguity of the word 'is'."
