Philo
Ancient Greek word for a friend that is so good at social favors they end up doing it professionally. Or a Professor who is exceptionally good at getting students interested in a subject.
A Philo was not just a friend, but eventually became an official title of someone that could be hired to set up arranged marriages for men who were too intimidated to do so themselves.
This evolved into an official title used in multiple fields, such as “Philomath”. Someone who helps another person marry math/science. Essentially a Professor.
Philo is often mistaken for a first name, such as the famous historian Philo Judaeus. This is not his name but his title, meaning Professor of Judaism.

A self absorbed asshole who does not know enough to be an actual Pedant. Therefore they must invent reasons to talk down to others and “correct” them.
Someone who spews nonsensical bullshit solely for the purpose of talking down to others.

Did George just claim he knows a definition better than the dictionary?
Ya, he’s a total pseudopedant. He loves to correct people so much that he just ends up spewing nonsensical bullshit and having to be corrected himself.

Proud Republican
An insult in disguise. Someone who is ignorant or unaware of the massive number of failures by the Republican Party
My Proud Republican uncle was totally unaware that 25 Republican failed states are dependent on handouts from the Democrats and have massive widespread poverty, or that Republican states have 3-6 times the homicide rate of their Democratic counterparts. He thinks they are self sufficient and well behaved! Can you believe it?

Republican in the closet
A Republican who is in denial and can't admit to himself that he's being fucked in the ass by his own party.
My uncle is a Republican in the closet. He still can't admit the Republican fucked him over by writing and passing NAFTA and sending his job to Mexico.

Closeted Republican
A Republican who can't admit he's being fucked in the ass by his own party, much like a gay man in denial
My uncle is a closeted Republican. He still can't admit Republicans voted to fuck him over and send his job to Mexico. He still blames liberals even though Republicans wrote and passed the NAFTA bill that did it.
